Most people would call this cluster of terracotta pots by the kitchen door an herb garden. And that it is. I’m always snipping basil, rosemary and thyme for soup, sauce or pesto.

Contemporary-Style landscaping is all about sharp angles and minimalism. Nature, on the other hand, can appear random, even chaotic.

Seeing things in black and white usually means having a stark outlook on life.

But they also wanted some industrial edge.
