Gardens with a purposeWhether planting a kitchen garden for home-grown veggies and herbs or designing a yard to attract more wildlife, gardening with a purpose is a trend that's gaining momentum. Residential landscapes are no longer just trees and grass that encircle the house, but views we enjoy from the indoors for their aesthetic value and outdoor places that contribute to our everyday lifestyles. Whatever your gardening purpose -- relaxation/meditation, watching butterflies and hummingbirds, harvesting home-grown produce -- you can make it a reality by designing and planting your landscape with specific goals in mind.
