GARDEN HISTORY & DESIGN, HORTICULTUREWendy Russell

Take a moment to read this touching essay written by Margo Rabb in the New York Times this week about 25-year-old grief and a garden we have all madly fallen in love with.

Margo Rabb is an acclaimed novelist whose debut, Cures for Heartbreak, was hailed by critics and young readers alike. Her essays and short stories have appeared in the New York Times, the Atlantic, the Rumpus, Zoetrope: All-Story, Seventeen, Best New American Voices, New Stories from the South, and One Story, and have been broadcast on NPR. Margo grew up in Queens, New York, and has lived in Texas, Arizona, and the Midwest; she now lives in Philadelphia with her husband and two children.
