About Us

Outdoor space is living space, and should be as carefully considered as any other room in your home.

Our Story

We launched Gardenista in 2012 as the definitive guide to stylish, sustainable outdoor spaces. Since then, we've been on a mission to find the best design ideas, from the easiest pollinator-friendly shrubs to grow in the garden to the perfect midcentury house numbers to add for curb appeal.
