Welcome to A Cultivated Living
Hello! I’m Joanna Revers. I’m a designer, creator, cook, and gardener living in Vermont. A Cultivated Living is where my life in design meets my love of cooking. Here I share inspiration and recipes for a healthy home, garden, and life… focusing on beautiful, fresh, and uncomplicated food and entertaining.
FOOD & PHOTOGRAPHY
About Joanna
Gardening has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My mom is a master gardener and was always in the garden when I was young. Being British, she created gushing English country gardens and had a penchant for meadows. She always created gardening projects for me to do alongside her. I can remember going on dog walks in woods and fields carrying shovels and pruners, bringing back things to naturalize in the home garden… and the apple has not fallen far from the tree as I’m sure my neighbors can attest to.
In college, I worked at Smith & Hawken in Mill Valley, California in their nursery, a mecca for all things garden. I would go to the San Francisco Flower Market to make bouquets for the store. It was a dream to say the least. From California, I came to Vermont when my parents bought a cut flower farm on top of a mountain in a tiny town called Tunbridge. It was there that my love of floral design really began. I worked as a designer for many years. And through it all, there have always been bountiful and beautiful vegetable and herb gardens. Growing the food that you eat is one of the healthiest and most satisfying things you can do for your body and your soul. I hope that, here, I can bring some gardening inspiration to you and help you along the way.

TEXTILES & DESIGN
About Joanna
Why do I love interior design? The world of textiles and design has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I was born in Wales, where my parents both worked for Laura Ashley. My mom ran one of the stores and used to help Laura with the fabrics and design. When I was 11 months old we moved to San Francisco, where my dad opened the first Laura Ashley store in America. It became very successful throughout my childhood as he ran the company in the US. From a young age my world was filled with fabrics and textiles, fashion, and home decor… and I would be remiss if I did not mention that it was also filled with floral patterns.It’s funny that I did not realize until recently that this is a common thread in my life. For most of my career I have worked for Anichini, one of the leading luxury textile and home furnishings brands in the country, initially in visual merchandising and more recently in marketing and design. One thing is certain, my love of fabrics and flowers runs deep.
