Contain Yourself
Plant hardy, easy-to-grow staples—including ivy, ferns, and geraniums—to create classic container groupings that will last the season
Some things never go out of style. When it comes to planting containers, the combination of vivid red geraniums and green foliage have been a popular, beloved pairing for decades. What’s more, they leave an ever-cheerful impression on guests while giving your porch or garden an Americana feel. Thanks to the size and convenience of these planters almost anyone can pot the combinations shown here. “So many people are living in condos and patio homes now, and with containers there’s no limit to what you can grow based on your space. You can do traditional flowers and even add vegetables and herbs, too. You can really have a garden anywhere,” says David Munsey III, general manager of Little Rock’s Better Lawns & Gardens. With this thought in mind, Munsey and his father, David Munsey Jr., founder and owner of the business, put together several container groupings that you can plant now and—with proper care and maintenance—enjoy until the first chill of fall arrives.

The New Brew in Town
The talents behind beloved Arkansas eateries such as Local Lime, Big Orange, and ZAZA, step onto the craft beer scene with a brewery and taproom in Little Rock—known as Lost Forty—that’s sure to become a new favorite hangout
THE RESTAURANT-MEETS-BREWERY CONCEPT
When you put Scott McGehee, John Beachboard, Russ McDonough, and Amber Brewer in one room, there’s bound to be something brewing. This time, the quartet behind some of central Arkansas’s favorite restaurants—who were joined by local businessman Albert Braunfisch for this venture—cooked up the idea to open a brewery and taproom known as Lost Forty Brewing. John and head brewer Dylan Yelenich actually started the brewing in John and his wife Amber’s garage. “They were having so much fun creating beers and new flavor profiles, they began to think about a large scale brewery,” says Amber, who serves as creative director of Yellow Rocket Concepts, a parent company for the group’s local eateries. “Scott and John and our team are seasoned in pleasing the palates of Arkansans with unique food and cocktail creations. Beer has always been a passion for them both, which led to learning to home brew, and now here we are. At Lost Forty, the taproom is a function of the brewery. It is a place for people to try what we are creating, where we are creating it, alongside food that highlights the attributes of the beers. Drinking in the taproom is akin to being in our lab,” she adds.
