Above: For months the world has been wondering about the details of the most important cake of the year: the wedding cake for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Above: “It is no longer possible to order a simple gin and tonic in a country pub in Northamptonshire, England,” contributor Kendra writes. “Instead, the bartender demands more detail; there are decisions to be made. Are you looking for a sloe gin with lemon tonic water, or perhaps a pink gin that is 34 percent rhubarb? In the UK, everyone is a gin expert these days.” For this year’s Chelsea Flower Show, the county’s first gin distiller, Warner Edwards Gin, will be re-creating the lush, quiet grounds of a 200-year-old farm; Kendra (a local) takes a tour of the original at Just Add Flowers: A Gin Maker at the Chelsea Flower Show.
