Step inside James Golden’s remarkable garden at Federal Twist—a wild, naturalistic space where big, assertive plants jostle for position in heavy clay soil and beauty is found in the tension between order and chaos. Inspired by the ideas in his book The View from Federal Twist, this tour explores how Golden embraces planting into rough grass, resilient plants, and a lighter touch to let nature shape the garden’s character.
