If you think bark is solely a holiday treat, think again. We’re talking edible bark—think peppermint bark, chocolate bark, and other variations of this crisp, chilled treat that so often make appearances in holiday cookie swaps and gift boxes. Many of us might associate bark (mainly peppermint bark) with cozy holiday memories, but bark is actually also the perfect warm-weather treat: As temperatures climb, a cool treat is sometimes exactly what you’re craving.
The Met Gala Turned the Met Into an Enchanted Garden

Last night, the stars showed up to the Met Gala in their best whimsical floral attire: Everything down to the celebrity-studded green carpet went with the Garden of Time dress code and theme, Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion. For an event that's about going all out, it’s no surprise that the Metropolitan Museum itself was given a whole new look, too.
Designers transformed the Met into a sanctuary that screams woodland gothic. Each of the rooms was given a different botanical theme, with the Costume Institute selecting pieces based on their earthy inspiration to categorize them (and decorate appropriately).

But the centerpiece of the Gala had to be something that would tie everything together—and reflect the magical overarching sense of it. A fabric, gently-lit tree loomed in the center of the building’s Great Hall, stretching nearly to the ceiling and featuring real wood and deep blue-and-green cloth flowers. Resting on a large, mossy pedestal, it was surrounded with a sea of projected colors, leaves, and shadows above it.
The dark colors make the projections pop and disguise the actual color of the building itself, aiding in the feeling of stepping into another world. Even the overgrown base of the tree has soft lighting on it, drawing attention to the piece while still giving attendees the mood lighting to feel like they were under a tree canopy themselves.

The floor matched those mysterious, organic shades, contributing to the same moody atmosphere you’d experience when waltzing right into a real forest.
With niche styles like moody cottagecore and woodland gothic trending, can you expect to see the Met Gala’s clever design

Grow the Best Red-Hot Pokers – Planting Guide and Trial Results
Like many northern gardeners, I had red-hot poker envy for many years but ruled out growing them because of their iffy -chances of surviving winter in my region. However, I am very excited about some of the newer Kniphofia introductions we are growing at the Chicago Botanic Garden. Being able to overwinter a South African plant in the Midwest is pretty cool, right?

I Tried a Sponge vs. the Scrub Daddy, and There Was a Clear Winner
I'm that person—the one who has no problem giving the silent treatment to the stack of dishes piling up in my sink. Cold, globby textures and grimy water gross me out to no end, so any tool out there that can speed up the process and get it over with is a win in my eyes.
