Current Obsessions: London Town

Take a look at what’s on our radar. Spoiler: We can’t help it, we’re having a London moment.

• Spending the summer in London? This sounds like something out of a dream: a roving gin garden.
• Fire pits come in many shapes and sizes, and they’re all beautiful.
• What you’ll think when you see this wildflower eye candy: There’ll always be an England.
• We’re craving this teak indoor/outdoor bench from our new favorite UK-based retailer, Rowen & Wren. And we know just where we’ll put it.
• A handy gardener’s guide to June, whatever your zone.
• The best part of a summer wedding: the blooms. Here, eight gorgeous centerpieces.
• If you’re reading this in London, and can tear yourself away from the gin garden (see above), get to Open Squares now.
• And next weekend: Look for us at GROW London! We’re offering ticket discounts for Gardenista readers.  
•  Lilac Pruning 101. Don’t wait; prune now for the best bloom next year.  
• Party-ready outdoor rooms for entertaining.
