Our free Planting Guide for this landscape plan includes a larger version of the illustration, a detailed layout diagram, a set of five regional plant lists, lists of alternatives for each plant, and complete instructions for installing the garden. (Free, one-time registration allows unlimited access to Planting Guides for all garden and landscape plans.)

This landscape plan features outdoors "rooms" and enough space to add tables on the lawn or hard surfaces, plus a backyard gate to bring in the tables, tents, and other assorted gear. Everyone from teens to adults will appreciate the benches and cozy fire pit. There is room to roll out a bar from the garage for outdoor serving, too.
