A comfort garden
Article Abstract:
Chris Chmielewski's 600-sq-ft garden in Erie, PA, harmoniously unites some 50 plant varieties to create a peaceful retreat. Working to reclaim one section of ground at a time, she combined carefully selected purchased plants with those salvaged from construction sites and the like. Her garden includes yarrow, anemones, bedstraw, daffodils, mountain bluet, rose-of-Sharon, evening primrose, comfrey, delphinium, sweet woodruff, flax, and roses, as well as berry bushes and a pond.

A back bay front yard
Article Abstract:
Novice gardener China Altman has created a miniature and unorthodox garden in the tiny front yard of her Boston home facing onto Commonwealth Avenue. Thoroughly shaded by one of the area's trademark saucer magnolias, the yard nonetheless supports many plants her more experienced friends or even passers-by assure her will die. The 10-by-14-foot space encloses hundreds of plants of some 70 varieties, providing brilliant color from frost to frost.
