When the time came for me to transform a 90-year-old putting green into a perennial garden on my family’s three-generation plot, I froze. As a designer, I usually seek out such challenges, but when faced with planning a garden on this spot in my yard—which was a large, blank canvas—I felt overwhelmed as I could suddenly do whatever I wanted. This garden is made up of four quadrants around two perpendicular gravel paths that lead to other areas of the yard. Step 1: Garden preplanning Consid...

Creating a garden in shade can be tough enough, but when you’re attempting to carve a garden out of a densely wooded lot, the challenges are multiplied. Most gardeners want a landscape that stands out beautifully but doesn’t look out of place or at complete odds with the surroundings. That was exactly the balance the owner of a majestic log cabin at the north end of Bainbridge Island, Washington, was looking to strike for their garden in the woods. The home, nestled in a clearing of Western ...

Today we’re visiting Amy Birdsong’s garden in Virginia. Two years ago I became serious about restoring and improving our property, which up until then my husband had valiantly been taking care of with little to no input or help from me. As a kitchen and bath designer I am well versed in space planning, but I had zero knowledge on how to create a true garden. So like all good students, I went all in on research. I began visiting gardens, buying an embarrassing amount of garden books, obsessiv...

Barry Severn grows many wonderful plants in his garden outside Toronto. We’ve visited his garden before (Last Year in Barry’s Garden), and it is always a pleasure to see what he’s cultivating. The little annual Phacelia campanularia is native to California but thrives in gardens in many climates. I love the way Barry has zoomed in to the details of the stamens of this Clematis ‘Jackmanii’ (Zones 4–8). Many flowers reward a closer look to enjoy their details. After its brilliant earl...

Kat Kinch sent in today’s photos of a garden transformation. My mom, Pat, a retired teacher, was increasingly concerned that a huge, old red maple in close proximity to her house would one day end up in her bedroom in a summer storm. With no small amount of regret, she decided to have it taken down. While she breathed easier when gusts arrived, the space the old tree formerly occupied was left an arid slope. She missed the leafy shade, and the dry ground and network of roots made new planting ...

Maureen Budney, in North Reading, Massachusetts, is a talented amateur photographer and often shares the sights she captures with us. I love how this photo of a hardy hibiscus (Hibiscus hybrid, Zones 5–10) makes you stop and take in all the details of this beautiful bloom. Hardy perennial hibiscus are hybrids of species native to eastern North America and make imposing plants with their huge summer blooms. This clematis (Clematis, large-flowered hybrid, Zones 5–9) bloom has deep velvety purp...

The garden pockets in this landscape were carved out from the sounding woods and built to bridge the gap between the cultivated spaces and the wild area. Your native surroundings may not be woodland, but the same basic principles can be implemented. Three main layers make this planting approach possible. See the entire garden here.

Spring can be one of the most colorful times of year in the garden, but it can also be one of the sparest. Here at Chanticleer, a public garden in Wayne, Pennsylvania, we have found that some clever choreography and creative handiwork can help the garden to seem full, even when some of our summer favorites are still sleeping in. Here is some garden design inspiration from Chanticleer that could translate easily to almost any home garden. Pairing garden companions that bloom at the same time heig...
