Garden of the Day: Skinny Space in the Slope

Got a garden space you want to share? Send us a note. And now, tales of the narrow: Our Park Slope backyard was a narrow 12 feet by 28 feet plot of dirt overgrown with weeds. An air conditioning unit and stairwell dominated the space. We wanted both beautiful plants as well as additional outdoor living space. The end result (thanks to the help of a great landscaper) is a city retreat which includes both an Ipe wood deck and a flagstone patio. The wood deck has a cut out for the air conditioning unit. Rose of sharon bushes were planted between the deck and back fence. The other plants represent a mix of succulents such as hens and chicks and classics like roses, honeysuckle and hydrangea. We couldn't be happier with the results.
