[Garden & Gun] For Southerners, the front porch is as iconic as a batch of boiled peanuts or a syrupy slice of pecan pie. A beacon of hospitality, the wraparound structures welcome family and visitors, offering shelter from the rain or a shady spot to escape the summer sun. A steady backdrop for life’s unplanned occasions, the porch is a place to press pause, serving impromptu gatherings and peaceful moments alike. From homes on the Carolina marsh to neighborhoods in small towns far and wide, the meaning of a porch to Southerners goes far beyond aesthetics.
