Every June, Newport has a brief moment when the gardens seem almost too beautiful to be real…

At Parterre, peonies spill from newly planted beds, fill antique urns, and find their way into nearly every room of the house. Their season is short, but their impact is unforgettable💕

If you’ve ever wondered how to bring a garden indoors, consider this your inspiration board💖

Save this for peony season🌸
