The great outdoors Pandemic increased popularity, value of outdoor spaces

By Audrey Hoffer

The Washington Post

utdoor spaces like balconies, decks, patios and porches are precious amenities for homeowners and renters alike. The past year-and-a-half of solitary pandemic living has turned them into invaluable real estate assets. Now demand is soaring. “Any outdoor space is now more highly prized than ever,” said Catarina Bannier, a Compass agent in the Washington, D.C., area. This is an excerpt: “We bring an old bench under the cherry tree near the rosemary plant that has grown shaggy and sloppy ... We trim off minty, muscly rosemary branches and fill empty pesto jars and leave them outside the front gate for neighbors.” Across the country, Michele Grace Hottel, a San Diego architect, watched people create their own pop-up outdoor spaces. “I saw people set up outdoor rooms in the front, side and backyards and even their driveways. They put down dining tables and chairs and added fire pits. They reimagined places for small gatherings with family, friends and neighbors,” she said. Brendan Doyle, owner of Planterra, a landscape design-build company founded in 1985 in Washington, D.C., and now based in Portland, Oregon, said the pandemic

enhanced people’s desire to be close to nature. “During COVID, everyone wanted to get outdoors because it was a safer place to be. Clients asked me to make new outdoor spaces and plant four-season flower and edible gardens,” he said. One client favored a Clematis collection — a flower in the buttercup family with 300 varieties. Another sought his expertise to create a children’s play area and outdoor dining room. “I designed and planted a yard for a guy who was barely conscious of the outdoors before the pandemic. Now he ambles across the lawn with handheld clippers trimming his grass blades,” said Doyle. “Even I bought a wheeled trug planter, stationed it on my terrace and am growing leafy greens. I go out and pick fresh salad every night for supper,” he said. SEE OUTDOORS, PAGE F4

Fresh air is intoxicating. Now in autumn it’s cool with a hint of chill. An artist would paint the air amber and yellow to match the changing leaves. The pandemic has enhanced our sensitivity to the beauty of outdoors. And people are churning their creative juices as the pandemic inspired them to enjoy the outdoors in new ways. “We spent a lot of time in the garden, tending the plants, enjoying being together. My kids needed screen breaks and exercise and I needed to de-stress and get fresh air and sunshine,” said Amy Suardi of her five children ages 8 to 19. They cared for fruit trees, flowers, strawberries, carrots, tomatoes and sugar snap peas. “We farmed the tree box by hoeing up all the weeds, adding compost and planting sunflower and zinnia seeds. The sunflowers grew over 12 feet tall. We planted blackberries along the driveway and edible flowers like nasturtiums and chamomile,” she said. Suardi and her husband, Enrico, live in Northwest Washington on a small lot. When the pandemic broke out, “Suddenly the ordinary things became precious and our garden started to feel like a wonderland,” Suardi said. She began writing short essays, poems and mini-memoirs in an online blog. After seven months, she had enough to fill a book. “My Beautiful, Terrible Pandemic Life” was published last year.

Three Suardi children play on the slide in their backyard, in Washington on Oct. 11. The Suardi family became closer to nature and planted an expansive garden during the COVID-19 pandemic. Amy Suardi wrote about her experience in her published book, “My Beautiful, Terrible Pandemic Life.” (BILL O’LEARY / THE WASHINGTON POST)

Unique folk art fetches high price

RTISTS DON’T spend all their time making large oil paintings, huge statues or even sketches and doodles that help them create a new and different style. Many worked for years before they found the special, individual look that pictured the world in a unique way. But a different group of artists made folk art carvings, squashed pottery vases and sewer tile statues with the free materials found nearby. The most ambitious made strange towers of bottles and scrap wood or carved fancy trim for a ceiling from local trees. Collectors and museums started to recognize folk art as another way to look at the world about the middle of the 1900s, but only in areas where formal art museums were rare. Today museum collectors of unique folk art like carousel horses, carved duck decoys and George Ohr pottery vases pay thousands of dollars for great examples. Even the anonymous carvings used to trim buildings or decorate gardens are collected. John (or Johannes) Scholl (1827-1916) carved with a jackknife and then used paint. He was a woodcarver whose work was praised long after his death. He made folk art whimsies, carved decorations of fancy shapes that are thought to be among the most important pieces of folk art in the 20th century. A recent Conestoga auction sold a 28-inch-high piece of folk art by Scholl. It was a carved wooden whimsy that sold for $4,130 after 13 bids.

High demand for outdoor living The trend in outdoor living predates the pandemic, said Kermit Baker, chief economist at the American Institute of Architects. “It really started to take off around 2009-2010 and stayed strong for well over a decade.” “Last year there was a surge throughout the country. We found a dramatic uptick in demand for features like outdoor living spaces as a result of the pandemic,” he added. In September AIA released its home design trends survey for the third quarter of 2021, focusing on home features. “During that time period we saw another significant increase in interest for outdoor living space,” said Baker. As outdoor entertaining became popular, the purchase of accompanying accoutrements rose in tandem. “Demand for outdoor accessories has been exponential. I’d say the interest has increased at least 50% with the pandemic. Our call level is higher than in my entire career,” said Joseph Smith, partner at Owings Brothers Contractors in Eldersburg, Maryland. “People are asking for decks, covered porches, screened porches and pools. They want outdoor kitchens under overhead roofs, grills, cabinets, sinks, refrigerators, pizza ovens,” he said. John DeForest of DeForest Architects in Seattle said when the pandemic first hit, many architects thought they’d get requests for adding or remodeling spaces for home offices. “But instead people craved a connection to the outside in the form of large windows and doors opening to covered decks and patios,” he said. “I do think there has been a surge in demand for outdoor spaces that’s clearly tied to the pandemic. Instead of carving out additional space in basements and attics, many recent clients have expressed a desire for more exposure to the elements, a broader visual horizon and perhaps a sense

Lee Reich | In the Garden

Use cuttings to multiply trees, shrubs the bottom of each cutting just below a different node. Make sure the upper end of the cutting, which is the point that was furthest from the root, is planted pointing upwards. Your pruning shears define a physiological upper and lower portion each time you cut a branch. The portion below each cut is the new top and the portion above each cut is the new bottom. The plant “knows” this and responds accordingly, growing roots from the bottom and shoots from the top of each cutting. Professional propagators cut the bottoms off squarely and the tops at an angle so that the ends are not mixed up during planting. Plant the cuttings in your garden where the soil is not sodden. Without good drainage the cuttings will rot, rather than root. Make a slit with your shovel, slide in a cutting until only the top bud is exposed, then firm the soil. The rooted plants should be ready for transplanting to their permanent homes by next fall. The cuttings can be set in the ground for rooting either immediately or stored through the winter for setting out in

early spring. I have had better success with fall, rather than spring, planting. In the spring, the cuttings often are overanxious to begin growth and the top growth is underway before the roots have begun. The shoots soon realize that there are no roots to sustain them, then flop over and die.

With cuttings planted in the fall, the roots have the opportunity to grow from now until the soil freezes. In the fall, soil temperature drops more slowly than air temperature so we still have a while before the soil freezes solid. The tops, on the other hand, will not grow until next spring, after they have been exposed to a winter’s worth of cold. (This is a natural protection mechanism that prevents plants from resuming growth during a warm spell in January.) Come spring, the shoots that grow from the tops of the cuttings will already have at least the beginnings of roots to bring sustenance. If you would rather plant in the spring, the cuttings need to be kept cool and moist through the winter. The traditional method of storage is to bundle the cuttings together and bury them upside down in a well drained soil. Why upside down? Because the bottoms of the cuttings then will be first to feel the warming effects of

spring sun beating upon the ground, while the shoot buds are held in check buried deep in cold ground. A refrigerator can substitute for the traditional burying. Seal the cuttings in a plastic bag, wrap the bag in a wet paper towel, and then seal the whole thing in yet another plastic bag. Plant as early in spring as soil conditions permit.

ARDWOOD CUTtings are a simple way to multiply a favorite tree, vine, or shrub. A hardwood cutting is a woody shoot that is cut from a plant and stuck into the soil some time after the shoot has dropped its leaves in the fall, but before it grows a new set of leaves in the spring. In the growing season that follows planting, this apparently lifeless piece of wood grows roots and shoots, well on its way to bona fide plantdom. Not every woody plant is amenable to increase by hardwood cuttings. Expect close to one hundred percent “take” with plants such as grape, currant, gooseberry, privet, spiraea, mulberry, honeysuckle, and willow. But this method generally is unsuccessful in making new apple, maple, or oak trees. Because they lack leaves, hardwood cuttings are less perishable than the leafy stem cuttings which are taken while plants are in active growth. Those who want to make their thumbs feel greener should try their hand with hardwood cuttings of willow, a plant I have seen take root from branches inadvertently left on top of the ground through the winter. Most other plants demand a little more finesse to ensure success with hardwood cuttings. All right, so you have a woody plant you want to multiply by hardwood cuttings. Step back and look at the plant before you take wood for cuttings. Select shoots that grew this past season. The shoots most likely to root are those of moderate vigor, not too fat and not too thin for the particular species. Once you have one or more shoots “of moderate vigor” in hand, cut them down to a manageable length of a halffoot or so. Look for the nodes on each branch; these are the points where leaves were attached - and make the cut for the top of each cutting just above a node, and the cut for
