A Border of Flowers Can Enclose a Small Space

Sometimes the obvious choice can have unexpected rewards. This gardener lives on a flat, rectangular lot. Wanting to keep some lawn for play and entertaining, she chose to create flower borders along the property lines. Maybe not the most creative choice, but by doing this she's encompassed the yard in flowers, giving it a park-like feel. You can start behind the garage and walk along in a circle, discovering the different plantings. So although you can probably view the entire garden at once, it is still a discovery to walk the length of the border.
