Modernist


Modern in garden design means making a statement with less. I usually pair down my selections to no more than five varieties. This was a concrete back yard under a mature elm tree, so it only got sunlight for about an hour mid afternoon. The rest of the day was dappled shade. Containers were black Terrazzolite. Planting simplicity with Tiger Eyes Rhus as my focal point, Hosta Sum and Substance for my fat leaf, cut with Acorus Ogon beneath, and bloom with Dragon Wing Begonias red.
