In this March 25, 2019, piece in The New York Times by Kim Severson, Traci Des Jardins talks about why she decided to close Jardinière.
An excerpt:
“My passion is moving me in a different direction,” Ms. Des Jardins said. “I want to put Jardinière to rest as the distinguished place that it was, but it’s hard. It feels like I’m letting go of a style I built a 35-year career on.”
