Learning, country style
Article Abstract:
Gardening is an integral part of the curriculum at Redd School, a private elementary school near Houston, Texas. Children learn math and science through special projects that demonstrate the importance of weather and pH balance in soil. Therapeutic aspects to the curriculum include teaching children to work, wait and dream. For many of the children in this suburban-based school, this garden is their only direct contact with nature.

English borders, Texas style
Article Abstract:
The owners of Weston Gardens in Bloom, Inc., have created a successful retail nursery by selling combinations of southern native plants with non-natives adapted to the Texas region's harsh climate. The gardeners' philosophy is to maintain a sense of informality and spontaneity with the arrangement of the plants. Successful garden design employs walls, fences, or trees to impart a sense of structure and enclosure.
