About me

Introduction	Dianne B has always stood for style and this web site and blog are her current endeavors. From all the gardening accoutrements that she has ever used (and there have been plenty) she has whittled them down to these--her tried and true favorites. She is particularly proud of the Tool Belt and the Yard Bag, which she has made exclusively for this special gardening experience. Dianne's passion for gardening began more than twenty years ago when she acquired her first house in East Hampton. What started as a weedy, woody tangle was turned into a garden-tour-worthy shady exotic acre in her own inimitable way. The details were documented in DIRT: The Lowdown on Growing a Garden with Style, a book that has become a gardening cult classic. Dianne writes about gardening and lifestyle in her ongoing blog, DIRTIER and is deep into a new book, NEW GROWTH: Nature's Pretty Babies. Her unique artistic gardening vision, as well as her dramatic decorating style, has been editorialized countless times, most recently in the Wall Street Journal. The garden she has been fashioning for 6 years was open via The Garden Conservancy Tour in 2010 and will be open again for the 2011 Tour.
