I am excited to share our “Home & Garden” issue with readers and, I am thrilled to feature P. Allen Smith on the cover. He is a landscape and garden designer who has contributed to a number of national publications, including Southern Living, Woman’s Day and House Beautiful. Additionally, Allen is a preservationist and TV host who has a country retreat in the 501. In this issue, we’ll share some images from his Moss Mountain Farm, a stunning estate overlooking the Arkansas River in Pulaski County.
Home is not only where the heart is — these days it’s also where Americans are spending more discretionary dollars. We view it as an investment that we can enjoy daily. For several years, we’ve seen the push to create outdoor spaces that essentially add a room to the home and invite the family outdoors. Comfy cushions, colorful tablescapes and unique plants draw us outside during the day, and at night, when spaces are draped in fairy lights or Edison bulbs, the oasis calls to us.
