About the Author

Melissa Bartley is the visual director at Terrain, a home and garden lifestyle brand from the team behind Anthropologie, where she leads the company's visual identity and creative evolution across all nine locations. Founded on the site of a 100-year-old nursery in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, Terrain has been featured on Today and CBS's Sunday Morning as well as in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Vanity Fair, Vogue, Martha Stewart Living Elle Décor, and InStyle. They have published two previous books, Terrain: Ideas and Inspiration for the Home and Garden and Terrain: The Houseplant Book. A driving force behind Terrain since its first store opened in 2008, Melissa brings a background in film production and set design, blending a storyteller's instinct, a designer's eye, and a merchant's strategy into every season she shapes. With family roots in gardening and agriculture, Melissa feels most at home with her hands in the dirt, designing gardens and containers where wildness feels intentional, every season leaves a mark, and bold ideas take root. She shares that spirit with her young son, encouraging a love of nature, creativity, and the simple act of digging in.

Greg Lehmkuhl is the creative director of Terrain, where he leads product innovation with a seasonal, globally inspired approach. Growing up in a gardening family, he developed a lifelong love of container gardening, particularly for greening challenging spaces. His passion spans every season, from creating temporary showcases to crafting perennial combinations that evolve beautifully over time.
