Bringing the Outdoors Inside and Onto Your Windowsill by Tovah Martin | Lecture, Lunch & Book Signing
What do you love most about the garden? Is it the lushness of greenery? Do you enjoy the scents? Is it the textural interplay? Or maybe what means most to you is the sense of nurturing nature. This lecture talks about bringing the essence of what you love about the garden inside and onto your windowsill. Amazingly, many outdoor garden plants love sharing our homes indoors. Tovah describes garden plants that can successfully make the leap from garden to windowsill as well as tropicals that capture the mood. She talks about how to host garden plants, creating a scene, adding the elements, and crafting vignettes that reflect our favorite moments outside. This is fun and fulfilling, it’s creative, and it will bring everything you treasure about the garden into the heart of your home.
In her constant, undying pursuit of all things garden- related, Tovah Martin gets her hands dirty both outside and indoors. She is a perennial, heirloom, vegetable and cottage gardener of fanatical proportions, and is accredited with NOFA as an Organic Land Care Professional. Beyond the garden outdoors, Tovah’s areas of specialty also include decades of experience with houseplants (she grows over 200 in her home). That passion for gardening indoors led to her many books. Most recently, a new title was added to her book publications; Gold Medal award winning The Garden in Every Sense and Season (Timber Press, 2018) describes how your garden can kindle the senses on all layers to become more meaningful. The newest publication is added to more than a dozen titles that Tovah has authored, including The Indestructible Houseplant, The Unexpected Houseplant, The New Terrarium, and Tasha Tudor’s Garden.
For her writing, Tovah was awarded The Garden Club of America’s award for outstanding literary achievement and an Honorary Membership in The Garden Club of America. In 2013, she received the Gustav Mehlquist Award—the highest honor bestowed by the Connecticut Horticultural Society. And in 2019, The Garden in Every Sense and Season won the Gold Medal from Garden Communicators International.
