Craftsman landscaping – bits & pieces

Arts & Crafts bungalows mix and match well with all sorts of
landscaping – from the zen-like Asian-inspired landscapes of Greene
& Greene to cactus gardens and even the manicured, symmetrical
patterns of some of the English A&C-influenced landscape designers.

• The San Francisco Chronicle takes a look at one particularly successful landscape makeover:

When it came to planting the bungalow garden, the most influential
designer for Californians, as for the rest of America and England, was
Englishwoman Gertrude Jekyll, whose best-selling book "Colour in the Flower
Garden" reflected nearly 30 years of plant design. Astonishingly, her plant
combinations are still widely used today with all styles of homes. What she
excelled at was the natural-looking border built up typically with a
discerning use of grays, silvers, pinks and whites accented with blues and a
touch here and there of yellow or red. In her prolific career she used
hundreds of different plants, commenting, "There are no bad plants, only
plants badly placed."
