The Fosters wanted to welcome guests to their Massachusetts garden so they created a small room at the front of their landscape. Lined with lush container gardens and featuring salvaged cobblestones and a beautiful wrought-iron gate, the partly shaded spot definitely attracts attention.

Test Garden Tip: You can use any number of items -- or even a mix -- to define your outdoor rooms. Here, a collection of containers, shrubs, and the gate does the job nicely.
