This SE Portland homeowner is relatively new to this house, and spent last year’s growing season getting to know her new space, growing lots of cherry tomatoes, and relishing the extraordinary plants that the previous owner had put in place. She wanted some changes to the back garden beyond the planting, including a new pergola over her deck, and some trellis installed along the side of the garage. She asked me to design her back garden to take advantage of these new elements, and to make the space feel more intimate, more romantic, while still being low maintenance.
