Garden as Gallery: Artful Plant Combinations by Little and Lewis

Since 1992, George Little and David Lewis have created bold garden art. David's guidelines:

• Take risks, have fun!
• Combine strong textures.
• Go for height; use tall plants, elevate containers.
• Partially hide objects for mystery and discovery (art secondary).
• Change it if it doesn't work.
