For some, tending to our humble home gardens, dreaming of lush green splendor, is a pastime. For others, it’s a calling. María Jesús Contreras Living in clover My hometown has a gardening store so lavish, so over-the-top curated with weather-stained terra-cotta planters the size of vintners’ casks, crumbling concrete birdbaths rescued from Eden and a jungle’s worth of fronds and boughs and leaves that it is a destination. Out-of-towners come to gaze at its tableaux of mosses, hand-forged shears and fairy lights, to dine on seasonal produce at its in-house cafe. I think there might be an actual waterfall back by the table linens. I love going to this store, wandering its aisles and imagining how different my life would be if I could inhabit its forever-green promise, like Keats gazing on the Grecian urn. The dream of a life so exquisitely alive, so committed to the beau idéal of aesthetic richness, is what I imagine drives many former fashion designers and filmmakers to jobs in horticulture, as my colleague Steven Kurutz [writes about in The Times today](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnA7-ZP0TgaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8xMC8wNy9zdHlsZS9wbGFudHMtam9icy1jcmVhdGl2ZS1kY2FyZWVyLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDIzMTAwNyZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMDQ2NjAmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE0Njc1MCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZR2ZOiFlpURaE1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD). They’re arts majors who found their medium in flowers and ferns, corporate operatives who realized there was life beyond the laptop, even if it wasn’t all glamour. “I wanted to be the one digging the holes and carrying the soil up a four-story walk-up,” one — a tech-start-up defector turned plant coach and landscape designer — told Steven.

I took the counsel of Morning readers and stopped fussing so much with my charges, learning to let them be themselves. Mostly this has been successful: I have a bird of paradise that is, if not thriving, then at least alive. I’m living and letting the plants live even when living for them means petulantly throwing out vines in awkward and not-at-all-Keatsian clumps, then inexplicably lying there limply for a season, playing dead or, let’s face it, possibly actually dead. People who work with plants for a living, who orchestrate lush and enviable displays that make me want to be a better person, know that it’s hard work to create a home garden that looks effortless. I’m still trying to balance the dream of free-range plant parenting with the fact that every leafy thing that crosses my threshold instantly becomes a hothouse flower, desirous of climate and light conditions that I can’t readily provide. I’m trying to adopt the mind-set of the floral designer Emily Thompson, who told Steven, “It’s practically a spiritual and holy experience to collaborate with the living world.” She may have been talking about her breathtaking botanical creations and not a garden-variety snake plant on a dusty sill, but the wisdom holds nonetheless.

Swift, an all-American girl with big, boundary-less feelings, has made a concert film, which AMC will show at its theaters. While a movie theater can’t mimic the excitement of a stadium, Swift has encouraged attendees to make the experience feel like a live event, with costumes, friendship bracelets, singing and dancing.

But why not reserve a seat near an aisle so you can stand up and shake it off? 📺 “Frasier” (Thursday): The blues, they are a-calling again. Nineteen years after walking offscreen, Frasier, the imperious psychiatrist played by Kelsey Grammer, has returned. He’s the latest marcher in the parade of reboots, revivals and reprisals. This new series finds him back in Boston — appropriate for a character who began on “Cheers.” But he has traveled light. The other characters from the original “Frasier” have not made the trip, though a few will appear in guest roles. It can be hard to love a new cast when you’ve spent so long with the old one. Maybe you can talk to your own psychiatrist about why you fear change. The show will premiere on Paramount+ and Pluto TV, then move to CBS.
