1. LOCATION IS EVERYTHING
The sun is your garden’s best friend. “Pick a spot that gets a minimum of six hours of full sun each day,” says Schamber. For novice gardeners, a plot of ground measuring 4 by 4 feet is a good starting size. Container gardens are a great option for homeowners with limited space and those who want to test their interest in gardening first. Unlike garden beds, “containers can be moved, depending on the location of the sun, and brought inside during cold snaps or inclement weather,” says Gary Brasier, Greenscape’s edibles manager. A new trend is the blending of edibles into an existing garden, he says, combining form and function.

Cut from the Same Cloth
“Turkey Tracks” is a 19th-century quiltmaking pattern that has the appearance of little wandering feet. Patterns like the tracks, and their traditions and myths, have been passed down through the generations, from their frontier beginnings to today, where a generation of makers has embraced the material as a means of creating something new. Olivia Jondle is one such designer. Here, she’s taken an early turkey track-pattern quilt, cut it into various shapes, and stitched the pieces together, adding calico and other fabric remnants as needed. The result is a trench coat she calls the Pale Calico Coat. Her designs are for sale at The Rusty Bolt, Jondle’s small-batch fashion company based in St. Louis. —SAMANTHA STEVENSON
