Hear ye, hear ye: right this second marks the commencement of Curbed's second-ever Outdoors Week, a five-day tribute to outdoor spaces and places: gardens, grottos, and green walls; pools, pool houses, and public parks; topiary, Marissa Mayer's backyard soda shop, and Astroturf; and a generous dose of Frederick Law Olmsted, Philip Johnson, and other names in landscape architecture. Throughout the week, look for maps, guides, and stunning photogalleries; being outside, after all, is a beautiful thing. So grab an ice-cold pop and settle in on the verandah—this will be fun.
