Clare Horne and The Grass Girl have been quoted and featured in national and regional publications on garden design, nostalgia gardening, outdoor living, and artist-led landscape design in Nashville and Middle Tennessee.
Country Living
Nostalgia Gardening: The Feel-Good Garden Trend (March 2026)
Clare quoted as a national garden design expert on memory, legacy, sensory planting, wildflowers, edible gardens, and emotionally resonant outdoor spaces. Country Living returned to Clare repeatedly throughout the piece — on nostalgia as a design practice, on plants as chapters in a living storybook, on alliums, rudbeckia, purple echinacea, and liatris blazing star, and on edible gardens that recall childhood afternoons spent planting and harvesting with family.
This was the article's framing of Clare's perspective: that nostalgia gardening is not a fleeting trend but a soulful practice of reviving the landscapes of childhood — a way to honor the enduring legacy of gardens that have nurtured generations.
Also syndicated in Green Matters and AOL.
