Sometimes the simplest solution is the best. Thirty years ago, Brian decided to plant nasturtiums on a sunny hillside. It worked so well, he's been doing it ever since. "Nasturtiums remind people of their grandmother's garden. They're charming and have an old-fashioned fragrance," he says. "And they don't mind crummy soil."
Go green and install a living fence instead of a wood version. "Add value to plants by giving them a purpose," Brian says. "A fence can be inspiringly beautiful if you use plants -- especially if the plants have year-round beauty." Here, a 30-foot-long firethorn hedge hugs a pathway that skirts a steep slope, providing a safety buffer for two-legged visitors and a berry buffet for winged guests.
Let in the light with shade plants that shine like high-wattage stars. Brian brightens a hillside planting of native bracken ferns with a swath of 'Patriot' hostas. Their big wavy leaves with wide white margins are like lights in the woods. Massed, 'Patriot' delivers high impact.
