Naturalistic Landscape Design for a Mid-Century Home
A mid-century home sits behind this naturalistic planting design framed by a horizontal, contemporary-style fence. The lines of the fence are the perfect foil to the wispy brushstrokes of feather grass. This planting design was inspired by wind-swept hills, and plant communities of the foothills of The Cascades. These plants thrive with absolutely no irrigation and no additional water (not even in the first year).
