A formal garden at the urban cottage of P. Allen Smith in Little Rock, Arkansas, showcases several intensive gardening practices, including raised beds, containers and interplanting. Planting spring vegetable seeds around tulips is an especially clever idea that combines edible and ornamental gardening.

Elegant Entry

It used to be difficult for guests to find the front door of the home, since it was situated on the side of the house. Drzewiecki uses some of the patio's original stone to create an outdoor foyer at the front door, which now draws people's attention to its special placement.
