The Minimalist Garden

Landscape architect John Howard and designer Barbara Howard (who are not related) both tend toward the restrained and always tasteful, with the intention of letting the bones of the architecture and the natural landscape take center stage.

They each applied that same philosophy here, choosing furniture and plants so that "nothing was fighting for dominance," says John. "Together, it all creates balance and synergy. There is something quite comforting in symmetry."
