Inna's Garden

Tucked on a hidden side-street, nestled along the Saugatuck River in Westport, CT a New Yorker named Inna bought a summer home with her husband and has turned it into a truly magical spot.

It doesn’t take long to realize you’ve arrived somewhere special. Her garden is the first “room” you’ll see when you enter along the front path, and fittingly so, because in the summer it functions as an outdoor living room and entertaining space. Have a listen to learn how this homeowner and lawyer has channeled her love (and exquisite talent) for decorating with plants into this layered, lush oasis to enjoy sunsets with her family and friends.

Inna gravitates toward whimsical, flowy plants that aren't too structured. Her tip is to pair them with barnacle pots for an earthy, organic feel. Her favorite spot for unique pots and plants is Terrain.

Inna creates her cozy outdoor living room with Gubi chairs that can be sourced from Design Within Reach and an outdoor sofa from RH.
