Did you know that “xeriscaping” – the use of plants that require minimal water – is just one of many garden trends emphasizing sustainability and sophistication outdoors? Rain barrels and composters are being artfully integrated into yard designs. Recycled building materials such as huge beams, old lathing and reclaimed bricks are adding texture and warmth to new spaces. Salvaged first-growth wood is being fashioned into stunning, one-of-a-kind furniture and fixtures. Whatever the style may be, it feels great to be outside again!
