Collection by Julie Miles
Blocks of solid bluestone add structure to this casual path that meanders through an exuberantly planted drought-tolerant garden. The blocks serve as pedestals for the family's glass art as well as stools for pausing to enjoy a cup of tea and the Puget Sound view.
The orthogonal edges of this crushed rock and locally quarried, broken stone path add a contemporary simplicity to this garden in rural West Virginia.
These garden terraces in a Seattle neighborhood are linked, especially when viewed from the main living space above, by a repeated simple, green, rectangular ground plane (upper terrace, fragaria ground cover; lower terrace, lawn). Multi-color and -sized bluestone pavers artfully strengthen the connection between the two levels.
