A narrow side yard becomes a fascinating journey

When faced with a narrow passage on the side of his house , Minneapolis / St. Paul garden designerScott Endresdidn’t view it just a elbow room to get from the front to the back , he saw it as another horticulture chance . Thoughtful hardscape pick , careful plant and focal stop placement , and repetition of vividness and form combine to make this path a joy to traverse while transitioning from the public area in the front of the planetary house to the individual patio in the back . Tune in tomorrow for photos of this path ’s destination : Scott ’s amazing floating patio!**This garden was featured in the April 2008 issue ofFine Gardening . * *
