Carolyn Temple of Seattle makes the most of her 40' x 100' lot with an incredible assortment of plants arranged in a number of creatively defined areas. The impressive array of plants and creative layout of the garden give the illusion of a substantially larger space: a cedar fence and a brick pathways are two of the main elements that divide the garden into sections.
