Project 2
Daniel Nolan for Flora Grubb Gardens | San Francisco, CA | Octavia Terrace.
Chosen by: Gardenista editor in chief Michelle Slatalla, who commented: “The equivalent of the little black dress is the little white garden, and this one gracefully brightens and warms a severe facade.”
“The terrace was inspired by the 2013 Dior Spring Collection.”
“The look is minimal but warm, and provokes both meditation and reflection.”
“Undulating Buxus, punctuated with Acer ‘shishigashira’ all planted in matching concrete spheres.”
Leslie Needham Design, LLC | Bedford, NY | A Studio for Inspiration.
Project 3
Chosen by: David Stark, who had this to say about the project: “I love the romance and the feeling of discovery in this garden. The relationship of the home/studio to the landscape is seamless and the pull to get lost within the garden is strong. Lovely.”
“The studio opens up to the gardens with two pairs of large French doors.”
“The main terrace of the house is a few short steps from the studio.”
“Across the grass from the studio are stone steps to the orchard.”
“The steps are planted with herbs, iris, sedums and mint: happy re-seeders.”
Earth Inc. | Toronto, Ontario, Canada | The Meadows.
Project 4
Design Statement: “Exiting the house, you enter a honed concrete dining patio and on toward a sunken fire pit lounge. A wood/I-beam boardwalk takes you across a water basin fed by three copper spigots set into a wood textured concrete wall. The boardwalk continues through a meadow of mass planted Switch Grass.”
“View from the sunken fire pit patio across the water feature and boardwalk.”
Greg and Rainy Smith | Manhattan Beach, CA | Friday Wine Night Retreat. Chosen by: Michelle Slatalla, who said: “With string lights, built in seating, and a fire pit, this is the ultimate outdoor party room.
Project 5
“Fire pit, bocce ball mini-court, sitting area.”
“A smaller playing field doesn’t ruin the game one bit!”
“Simon is a fan of the area as well!”
“A mini-court for the minis!”
