Beach Gardens

Daring Landscape

Love living on the beach, but despair at the thought of trying to garden in sand dunes? Take some advice from Barbara Peters, a beachfront homeowner on Fenwick Island, Delaware. The landscaped garden at her home in Baltimore is "ordered and serene," but Barbara wanted to go "a bit wild" with her landscape.

That daring spirit meant experimenting with new plants and color schemes on what began as a blank canvas: sand, beach grass, and yucca plants.
