Flowers For A White Garden

These flowers are for a garden with a white theme. For the ground cover between stones I chose erodium, hydrangea as a shrub, jasmine polyanthum for the vines, and santolina for the sunny areas. The bottom photo is of a garden I planted in San Francisco. Sc00018b7f_2

Gardens & Terraces

This image from cote maison wowed me with it's lovliness. I frequently plant buxus sempervirens suffruticosa commonly known as boxwood in containers. The dwarf variety is also great as a border. cote maison photography by Jules Reno

Down to Earth

These gardens are a beautiful example of a seventeenth-century French Chateau's fashionable formality. Now planted with modern flowers and shrubs, making it natural looking while keeping the classic lines. photography by Le Scanff-Mayer, British House & Garden.Sc00370cdd

An Outdoor Drawing Room

Miles Redd designed a room for his garden with a bold harlequin scheme. I love the potted plants and the vines growing against the house. check out the photos from Domino magazine's April issue.Sc0015fc39
