We’ve been discussing quite a few topics here on the Roundtable, and we thought it might be fun to look back each month or so at the ones that most inspired you, our readers. So without further ado, here are the top five garden design topics since we began. Topics ranked by number of overall views.
1. We Can Hardly Contain Ourselves! - Our look at gardening in containers.
2. Small Spaces, Big Ideas! - The challenges and opportunities of gardening in a small space.
3. Lawn Alternatives! Special guests The Lawn Reform Group, have helped propel this contentious topic into the top five in a very short time!
4. Shade! - Guest blogger Margaret Roach added her special talents to this topic.
5. Love It or Leaf It: Let’s Talk About Foliage - Foliage carries a lot of weight in garden design.
We hope you enjoy looking back on our top five posts, and check back often as we update and and new and exciting topics.
