- Organizing a bunch of plants into a sensual garden is both exciting and rewarding. Working with designer Jackson Broussard, Margie and Al McClurg turned hodgepodge into a destination courtyard.
Winding paths lined with layers of structural succulents and bee-loved perennials and annuals converge under a shady Bradford pear allee and rustic table hangout. Learn how Jackson creates paths and patios that stay firm under many feet. - Jak na to + styl
People that grow gardens just seen to have beautiful souls
It is so refreshing to hear the struggles they had to make their garden beautiful. It really connected me, when she said, "I have a list of things; Dead, Dying, Don't Work". I felt like we were connected in our struggle for the beautiful.
That’s me too!
Native Texan here living in the coffee highlands of Guatemala. YOur garden is so well designed and musing a pro was wise and saved money re,that compacted base for walkways and table area with just a bit of peagravel,over it, a wise decision with the color,TOO! I am retired and sailed for years before moving here so a huge covered terrace for a large outdoor shaded living room was my first choice of space use. WE sit outside most of the day reading , painting, eating and we get no Texas summer heat or cold so it is a perfect outdoor Springlike lifestyle. It took me five years to learn which plants suited this garden best....lots of test plants to begin with...sun shade placement using my gardening textbooks just didnt work at this latitude....its just different here. Now we have the most perfect garden for us and retirement lifestyle...glad you found YOURS!

Thank you; I enjoyed this very much. I didn't realise I had already viewed; it was well worth the second visit. I too have a long list of failures.
Beautiful garden... Thank you for the opportunity to view this beautiful garden.

Beautiful garden
Great tips, but what if you don't have room for masses of 15 or more of the same plants next to 15 of another and 15 of another, etc.
How do you create contrast if you don't have room for different masses of plants?
Beautiful! But, how do you deal with the mosquitoes... and in Texas, the snakes?
At time 7:26 what is the spikey tree to the back left of him?
hello...did you say Linas trees? are they the multi trunked with textured bark that were in this garden....i LOVE them and would like to know what they're called. thanks!
I like beautiful gardens, but how do you deal with mosquitoes in the garden?
aris asis Try planting a lot of Basil or Alyssum or other repellant plants like marigolds (easy!) Lavender, catnip, etc. You can also really cheaply and easily make your own Natural repellants with diluted essential oils in ordinary spray bottles. Don't let the mosquitoes stop you!:)
We installed a micro bat nest box. We have enough mosquitoes to feed a battalion of micro bats. Encourage Purple Martin's, Swallows and songbirds.
