Small Space Gardening - Flower Island

Marie Iannotti
This is certainly not a grand garden, by any means. A mass of Rudbeckia, a few cone flowers, a morning glory vine climbing the lamp post and some whimsical characters for the personal touch. This is a very small front yard and it could easily be lost among the other yew framed houses lining the street. But these home owners pull right up to this cheerful burst of color, every time they turn into their driveway. This square of garden is also the first thing you notice about the house and, simple as it may be, it makes passers-by notice and smile. It is not a grand garden, but it is commanding.
