Celestine Maddy is the founder and publisher of Wilder Quarterly, a magazine for contemporary cultivators. The publication tells stories from across the growing continuum from architecture, travel, and food to DIY projects and tips for the season. Celestine Maddy lives in Brooklyn with her dog and husband.

To celebrate the launch of Etsy’s Registry, we invited a few of our favorite tastemakers to share items they would choose for their own registry. Today, we are pleased to welcome Celestine Maddy, founder and publisher of Wilder Quarterly, a publication that speaks to contemporary growers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Growing isn’t precious and neither is nature. It’s messy, sweaty, wild and fun. In this collection for Etsy, I’ve selected items I think exemplify all of these ideas, whether that means enjoying a long walk through Chicago with a pair of awesome binoculars, or spectacularly lighting up your Austin backyard for a late night garden party. Any which way, I hope you have a good time.

Getting in the dirt should be fun. Don’t worry about getting grubby – you always clean up later. And just because you don’t have a yard or even a fire escape doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy nature. Bring the plants indoors or go nature-spotting on a busy city street.

I love it when sun rays light up gold or brass, be it on a wrist or tucked amongst flowers in a garden.

Whether it’s a quiet dinner in the backyard or a full-on garden party, the right lighting helps to set the mood. A dress covered in blossoms is the perfect finishing touch.
