Garden Tour: Groomed for Success

When your garden is small, it's easier to groom it meticulously and keep everything under control. This multifaceted gem of a garden in Atlanta is a case in point.

Homeowner with 2 dogs on brick path
 

Accompanied by her dogs, Phoebe and Rosie, Louise Poer strolls through the casually styled half of her tiny Atlanta, Georgia, backyard garden. On this side of the blue gate, shade-loving shrubs and perennials are loose, billowy, and relaxed.

The house was still under construction when Louise and her husband, David, bought it in 1993. The oddly shaped lot, 70 feet at its widest point and less than 100 feet deep, is at the end of a cul-de-sac.
