globeandmail.com: Modernism moves outdoors
I can't help but love Marjorie Harris, even if she's very "Toronto". I love her emphasis on shrubs, and her new book "How to Make a Garden" is fantastic.
Here she discusses the move towards modern in the garden. Ironically while I love modernism, and bought a mid-century home for that very reason, I am more of a traditional "relaxed" gardener when I get outside. We do need to add railings to our deck which I've been planning as horizontal slats or perhaps airplane cable.. so this article inspires nicely. Our lot is unfenced (here and there a neighbour has chain-linked their lot and it borders ours) and will likely remain as-is. But we are fortunate to have a large lot and a well-sited house and garden means the neighbours are pretty much invisible in the summer. A far cry from the previous rowhouse!
