About Garden & Nature
An orchard in full harvest is one of the gentlest pleasures the season offers — boughs bending low with apples and pears, the warm sweetness of a ripe peach caught in the afternoon sun. Old varieties carry names as lyrical as the fruit itself: the golden Russet, the speckled Pippin, the dusky Damson plum. A good harvest basket, set down in the long grass, fills the air with a perfume that is half fruit, half turned earth.
