Garden

Love the mix of greens and coral, love the slate, the dimensions, and the wood beams as well.

Q

Wouldn't work here. Just a nice photo of genius.

Q

Spilling over sidewalk: White Astilbe, Ladys Mantle, Salvia, copper-leafed coral bells (Huechera)...what else?

Q

Beautiful color plant arrangement.

Q

corner living wall surrounds windows--modernist take on ivy climbing up house

Q

Teensy back yard is just fine if it ends off a big glass sunroom.

Q

mass plant daylilies in front of red bush in front of japonese lilac hedge?

Q

Goldenrod mass planting blooms late summer to fall

Q

Succulent mounds make the prettiest yardscapes.

Q

red-tinged tall succulents: "Flapjacks" (kalanchoe) flower in May. blue-green low succulents: Acacia stenophylla, "Blue Chalk Sticks" (Senecio) . Water once a week.

Q

Reducing the number of colors in a garden — particularly a small one — can make it feel calm and serene. Black, green & white, w/purple. The designer of this 688-sq-ft garden in London maintained a pared-down color palette with black for hardscape elements, shades of green, white and chartreuse for the planting beds and small hits of purple verbena and lavender flowers.

Q

excellent window boxes

Q

undulating tiered beds, rimmed with copper sheeting

Q

cobblestone path meanders amongst green, white and purple shrubs and groundcover

Q

see low wall planter in similar size back yard. Paving is a little ugly, but not terrible if you click on the whole photo.

Q

Galvanized metal feed troughs for raised beds.

Q

add curves to a narrow lot for mystery

Q

Piet Ouldolf-style planting: repeating waves of light- diffusing hazy mounds-offset by leafy mound waves-- in greens & purples, in front of higher back layers including sumac and trees. Here astride a curving path. Ideal.

Q

nice modernist combo of structured and natural

Q

Handsome modernist gardening with black & green. Too much hardscaping reduces usable space though; that bluestone scree field is for someone who doesn't like to move outside.

Q

formal garden with green, purple & white--hedge deformation is not my favorite, but the layering here is good.

Q

plant short trees up in a planter for layered screening

Q

diagonally-planted fern wall

Q

layered bushes and handsome path under pretty flowering tree. Yes, the bushes are a too sculpted, but the overall effect is an interesting, inviting balance of rough and natural flow on one hand, and topiary dominatrix on the other.

Q

green walls

Q

geometrical-paver serpentine path weaves under spilling plantings.

Q

use grass for winding paths between plantings/gardens

Q

6' high stone wall + vines & trellis

Q

Lush 6' high vertical wall garden includes heucheras, begonias, etc.

Q

massy-mass planting. reccommended for 100 sq ft garden: 10 each of 4-6 types of plant.
