Planting Plan for Outdoor Rooms That Feel Open, Inviting, and Perfectly Secluded 

Date:


Providing privacy without compromising curb appeal can be a delicate balance, especially when gardening on a corner lot. Kristin Caldwell’s solutions for her Morega, California property deftly maximize connections between home and garden and minimize distractions from her bustling neighborhood. Most of the plants were chosen for their low water needs, though supplemental water is provided for a few favorites. An intriguing array of horticultural textures soften the edges of hardscaping, and there is not a single blade of turfgrass!
