The Wrap

Not every great garden needs acres. The New Smyrna Beach Garden Club named Lorraine Martin's backyard in Edgewater its November Garden of the Month, a meditative space built from regular garden pots, a few sculptures and some astroturf. Camphor trees there might fool you into thinking they're live oaks. Pretty peaceful.
