It’s Always National Garden Month At JW Marriott

Audrey Hepburn once said, “To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.” If that’s true, JW Marriott obviously has great faith in the future.
JW Garden, the brand’s initiative to plant a garden in every one of its more than 100 properties around the world, is thriving. Inspired by Alice Marriott’s (wife of Marriott founder, J. Willard Marriott) passion for gardening, each garden is designed to fit naturally into the specific setting and grow fresh produce and herbs to be used by the hotel’s chefs.
Since 2022, Studio Lily Kwong has partnered with JW Marriott to create sustainable and purposeful JW Garden projects designed to provide a thoughtful, multi-sensory experience while also supporting the hotels’ culinary programs.
April is National Garden Month and a great time to plan a stay at one of these properties that’s home to a beautiful JW Garden.
The luxurious JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa in Italy is located on its own private island, Isola delle Rose, not far from St. Marks Square and its soil is so rich in minerals and nutrients, it’s able to grow a bounty of herbs and fruits that are a delight for the senses. In fact, there are 100 olive trees on property that produce the exquisite olive oil you’ll find in the fine dining restaurant, Foila at Dopolavoro Venezia, and at the resort’s immersive olive oil tastings.
Located by the outdoor terrace of Beach Road Kitchen, the JW Garden at JW Marriott Singapore South Beach pays tribute to Singapore’s ecological and cultural diversity. Two sculptural blue trellises support native climbing plants and edible vines. Seating is incorporated into the garden’s design so you can take a few minutes to relax and be mindful of the beauty around you.
An oasis in the iconic Palm Springs desert, JW Marriott Desert Springs features a JW Garden filled with California-native plants and edible herbs, including the signature sage plant. Mindfulness and reflection are encouraged with hidden seating and peaceful walking paths. Strolling through the olive grove is a lovely way to connect with nature.
The star of the JW Garden at JW Marriott Orlando Bonnet Creek is rosemary – the resort’s signature ingredient, which you can enjoy in special dishes at Sear + Sea Woodfire Grill and in craft cocktails at UnReserved and Sear + Sea Lobby Bar. The lush garden invites you to sit among the herbs and citrus offerings and enjoy the greenery, the sweet scents and the busy, local pollinators.
Offering some much-welcome nature in the middle of Manhattan, the JW Garden at JW Marriott Essex House is the brand’s first indoor edible garden. Part garden, part art installation, it features herbs, including chives, tarragon and oregano, housed in a millinery cabinet that pays homage to the

Always do this 1 thing after you check out of a hotel
Everything started out as normal. I went to Miami for a conference and stayed in a perfectly adequate hotel. It did not offer coffee makers in the room, so the staff lent me a kettle to make my evening cup of tea. I attended the Wednesday morning sunrise yoga class on the hotel's rooftop terrace ("free" with my daily $35 — plus tax! — resort fee). I scanned the printed bill at checkout and everything looked fine.

‘A water world teeming with wildlife’: readers’ favourite national parks in Europe
One of the most incredible bird scenes in Europe took place as I hiked through the Bielawa nature reserve in northern Poland, about 40 miles north of Gdansk. I had left the village of Sławoszyno via a dirt track and was heading towards Kłanino, the open countryside and fields disappearing from my sight as the hedgerows grew taller either side of me. As I stepped forward, a gap appeared in the hedge and in front of my eyes a flock of nearly 100 cranes, which had been silent, took off across the field, honking with their red-tinged heads and faces, and feathery wing feathers flapping. I could almost touch them. The 19,000-hectare (47,000-acre) park is a mix of forest, wetland and coast. Rita
