The Big Picture
Now return to the street to see the big picture. A mixture of colorful plants growing atop a stone wall separates the yard from the street. Paul took the idea from little towns in the English countryside where planted walls separate front gardens. Here it frames another welcoming space--a soft, green lawn with the terraces just behind. The slope that started out as a burden has become a beautiful asset.


 

"Happy Landings" is from the March 2008 issue of Southern Living.
