Your summer of slow living starts here

Goodee’s founders are proud green thumbs.

Whenever a Domino editor is looking for something extra special to add to a shopping guide, Goodee is an obvious first stop. Storage baskets with edges hand-sculpted into undulating waves, a perfect sphere of Japanese soap—the inventory is a true treasure trove and the vision of superstylish brothers Byron and Dexter Peart. When I say they live and breathe good design, I mean it literally: Both of them start and end their days in the Habitat 67 housing complex, a Montreal architectural icon. Even the way today’s guest editors care for their plants is deeply considered. From personal experience, it’s impossible to hear about their gardening toolkit, below, and not feel compelled to channel your inner Martha Stewart. —Lindsey Mather, digital director

Current Mood

What we’re loving: Gardening today is no longer confined to outdoor spaces or weekend routines—it’s become an integral part of how we design and live. Our Goodee makers are helping redefine gardening equipment as decor, where beautiful, functional tools and thoughtfully designed planters turn plant care into a daily ritual. It’s about bringing life into our homes.

Our elevator pitch: Gardening encourages a slower, more connected way of living, and when done with care, it nurtures not just our plants, but our relationship with the environment. Many of the tools and vessels we feature at Goodee are crafted from natural or responsibly sourced materials, designed to last and age gracefully. It’s a reminder that sustainability doesn’t have to be separate from design.

1. Mix, match, and stack to create your own unique version of these Tuscan clay pots.

2. Beautifully made and razor-sharp Higurashi secateurs.

3. For a hint of nature in every corner.

4. This Haws x Dave Arnold watering can is the first collaboration in our artist series. It’s our way of blending artistry and design in a functional tool.

5. A gathering basket that’s lightweight, durable, and ideal for holding floral clippings, herbs, or produce straight from the garden.

Let your tools become part of your aesthetic, like the watering can on display in Byron’s kitchen “plant nook” (above left) or these secateurs in the garden (above right). When form meets utility, even pruning becomes a quiet ritual.

Elevate greenery with character and craft. Complement your spaces with handmade vessels for subtle organic texture that softens any space. Case in point: our garden wall in Goodee’s Montreal store (above left) and more of ANŪT’s botanical pottery (above right).
