In a world where it feels like everything from clothing sizing to houses to drink cups is constantly growing and “bigger is better” is basically the law, something that bucks the trend by going in a smaller direction can be sweetly refreshing—and in the case of Emily Henderson’s gorgeous plunge pool, this trend-breaker is doubly invigorating.
Plunge pools are already having a moment, so Henderson’s version of it isn’t new, exactly, but as she has done with so many other projects, Henderson has put her signature spin on her plunge pool, making it a perfect example of how great these mini pools can be.
Whether you’re counting down the days until you can follow in Henderson’s footsteps (swimming strokes?) and get a plunge pool of your own or you’re not quite sold on them, Henderson’s plunge pool—and her experience installing it—offers a few insights into what bringing one of these features home really looks like. Read on for a few lessons we can all learn.

Henderson lives with her husband and two children in Portland, Oregon—a lovely region, sure, but not exactly of the same clime as sun-soaked and pool-strewn Florida or Arizona. Henderson was convinced that, if she and husband Brian got the swimming pool they dreamed of, they wouldn’t get enough use out of it (and would end up either staring at a pool cover for most of the year or paying a small fortune to heat the pool through spring, fall, and winter).

Henderson says she thought about installing a swimming pond (also known as a natural swimming pool), but she ultimately wrote it off as more European and “not here just yet.”

Why you need to know where your plants came from
Right plant, right place, as Roy Lancaster’s book taught us, is a well-known adage and one we all try to live by. Get it right and your garden will love you for it. On closer inspection that phrase belies a whole historical context that is not evident at first sight. I was reminded recently of the stark fact that most of the plants we have in our gardens are from somewhere else. From Asia, the Antipodes, South Africa, to the Americas and continental Europe, these continents have supplied us for centuries with plants that fill our green spaces. Many are now so familiar and yet two hundred plus years ago they arrived as exotic specimens, delighting the Victorians and their predecessors.
