Multi-Level Garden with Shirley Bovshow
Garden designer Shirley Bovshow shows us how to make the most of a small space. She creates a beautiful garden by hanging plants at different levels from an arbor.
Tips:
1. Create a multi-level garden with low maintenance plants that have an extended bloom time.
