As fall settles in and the air turns brisk and cool, we bid a slow, reluctant farewell to the garden (at least until spring). For those who live in homes designed to foster a better connection between nature and humans, though, the turning of the season may feel markedly less distressing. Below, three recent examples, spotted over on our sibling site Remodelista, of biophilic homes.
