May 21 Column: Landscape Design

Landscape design is an important consideration when you want your garden to reflect your goals and desires. For my column today, I had the pleasure of interviewing landscape architect Barb Safranek (in photo at left). She is such a delightful lady with a very artistic eye, when it comes to gardens!
