Hot tub area
Owner: Meadowlark Location:When you're in juniper-country, in a 50 year old house and yard that's been unkempt for at least 20 years, you essentially start from scratch. This is the result. We're only about 1/3 of the way done, but were smart enough to get the hot tub in early. :)...
Outdoor Sanctuary
Owner: Laskins Location: BartowIt's pleasant to sit, dangling your feet in the koi pond and reading a good magazine. The overhead screens protect the fish and keep the bugs out. The sound of the waterfall is soothing after a hectic day of work. The best part is that the caladiums come up on their own and the garden is in full b...
Backyard on a budget
Owner: shell5470 Location: SparksWhen I bought my house 8 years ago the backyard was dust and weeds, fitting of the high desert I live in, but not very livable.

The only way to get to our frontdoor was by walking up the driveway. We live in a Cul de sac and most people park directly in front of the house so we needed a walkway from that area. My husband a...
Front Entry
Owner: TheBOXERSMom Location: DenverWalking up to the front entry, I wanted lots of color and texture throughout the summer. I started with the monkey grass, using 2 different Coleus' and Silvermound. I was pleased with it. The summer before this I discovered coleus didn't have to be in a pot! ...
Texas Drought Gardens 2011
Owner: Susan Velzy Location: Hill CountryThis is what happens when you haven't had a drop of rain in six months! Everything I've transplanted is drying out, but established plants are doing well -- even blooming! To add color to the gardens, I've added some artwork. Enjoy!...
