Emily Rand’s Must Haves

Designer Emily Rand (A Visual Pursuit) rounds up her garden-inspired favorites.

After living in the Southeast, New York City, and the West Coast, I felt a pull to return to New England and found myself missing the verdant landscape. The natural world has long been a defining aspect of my life. As a child growing up in Vermont, nature was my canvas, shaping my adventures and imagination. This influence continues to inspire both my design work and the environment I create in my own home.
