What Does Designer Charlotte Moss' Own Garden Look Like?

Long and dreary winters, like the one we experienced in my hometown of Midland, Texas this year, leave an itching feeling to get out and spruce up your outdoor space. So with the beginning of the summer season, there is no better time than now to pick up a copy of celebrated interior designer, Charlotte Moss’s new book, Garden Inspirations.

The garden being her greatest muse, Charlotte’s new book offers a lovely tribute to the great outdoors. Her new book is a resource for interiors, entertaining, and good living. She shows countless ways the garden provides inspiration every day, both indoors and outdoors, and offers ideas on how to bring the garden inside by featuring elegant flower arrangements, garden seating, interior color schemes inspired from nature, and much more.

“I think about making a flower arrangement the same way I consider a room, creating a composition that will equal the sum of its parts. Color, texture, scale, and location of an arrangement are as important as doing a floor plan in decoration.” -Charlotte Moss

As evident in her book, Charlotte loves to collect. She has built and maintained a healthy collection of baskets, vases, pots, and various other pieces throughout the years that she turns to when creating her unique flower arrangements.

Charlotte Moss Flower Pots and Gardening

“According to decorator Charlotte Moss, almost any container can be used to display flowers, and virtually every flower is worth showing off. These pictures, culled from Moss’s new book, Garden Inspirations (Rizzoli), are proof positive.” – New York Cottages & Gardens

Charlotte takes readers on a visual tour through some of the most beautiful gardens in the world–including her own! She also shares key garden lessons and tips that she has collected from her time spent exploring the various magnificent gardens. Her explorations include French and Italian, English and Russian, private and public, and also the gardens of great women such as Edith Wharton, Beatrix Potter, and Lady Bird Johnson, among others.

“If you had to describe my garden, it’s not so much about parterres and sweeping vistas as it is about intimate spaces, small rooms—gardens within gardens.” ~ Charlotte Moss
