This Month’s Issue: Carolina Gardens

As March days begin to give us hints of spring, many begin planning for the coming season’s plantings, whether for colorful landscaping or for a tasty harvest (or so I’m told by those with a greener thumb than mine). This year, consider saving a patch for gourds, which can make for fine fall décor or a natural canvas for inspired artists. Also, we asked readers what they love about the NC mountains — get inspired to go find a mountain view.
