Meanwhile, On Gardenista: The Painter’s Garden

Welcome to Meanwhile, on Gardenista, in which we take a look at the goings-on over on our sibling site. This week: painterly landscapes, picnic inspiration, and an artist’s botanical prints. In other words: artists inspired by the garden; the garden inspired by artists.

Above: A summer tip from Fan: “Collect inexpensive tag-sale forks and spoons to use for picnics, then splurge on this sprightly serving set.” See more picnic accoutrements in The Editors’ Cut: 11 Must-Haves for the Prettiest Picnic.
