Smaller gardens and intimate spaces often challenge a designer to realize big ideas in limited quarters. Many of us feel squeezed and long for more room to flex our gardening muscles. Whether your dream is a colorful border or even a natural meadow, tapping into the principles of form, function and perspective are essential. We will explore the use of space, views, light, texture, and more to assist in the selection of plants and materials that realize a desired feeling, look, and artistic expression.
