The flat two-acre garden in front of Pamela Harper's house in the Tidewater area of Virginia is bisected by a gravel drive. On each side are magnificent informal plantings of trees, shrubs, perennials, vines and bulbs. Harper's goal each year is to cover every inch of ground. It shouldn't be hard to figure out how: Harper is a garden writer and photographer.

Although Harper is known as an expert gardener, her approach to plants is one of wonder and discovery, trial and error, as if each time she steps out into the garden she's setting off on a new adventure.
