Is the stone on the chimney real building stone or stone veneer? What kind? »

Samuel H. Williamson Associates The chimney has a 4-inch-thick veneer of basalt. It's the same material as the retaining walls to the left.

Anne DeCocco I think I see salvia, delphinium and hostas, among others. Such a pretty look!

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Becky Harris to Unexpected Edible Gardens
This kitchen garden looks a lot like one you would find in Colonial Williamsburg. It's so great that these people have dedicated such a large part of their patio space to it.
added by Lily Gahagan to Herb Gardens for Indoors and Out
In the garden. A kitchen garden situated right outside the house is convenient for stepping out and clipping a few stems to brighten up dinner. The brick path surrounding this one makes it easy to reach the plants from all angles.
added by Vanessa Brunner to 4 Steps to the Perfect Garden
2. Consider your whole space. Incorporate hardscaping as well as landscaping into your garden. Make room for people as well as plants — otherwise your garden won't be able to be enjoyed properly! This homeowner was careful to plan and separate areas assigned to different functions. Brick walkways outline a garden area around the perimeter, with a spot at the end for an outdoor dining set.
Here, it's been installed on the diagonal as a decorative and functional type of edging. A small trench is dug, and the bricks are set in diagonally and covered halfway with soil to keep them in place.
added by Marianne Lipanovich to Feast Your Eyes on Edible Gardens
When your patio space is used for grilling and outdoor meals, why not have your herbs nearby? This classic blend of herbs and cutting flowers also helps break up what could otherwise be a too-expansive spread of brick pavers.
Try a patio garden. If you are looking to dip your toes into the water of edible gardening, try starting by incorporating a few herbs or vegetables into existing flower beds. Many veggies and most herbs have ornamental foliage and lovely fruit and flowers, and can blend in quite easily with standard flower-border fare.
