weekly garden profile by cmg

Check out this unusual approach to landscape design. Here the concrete pavement has literally been cracked down the middle to form garden-bed style rows and planted out with a variety of greenery and flowering plants.

If this was your garden, no doubt you’d be tempted to just put a stack of pots around with plants to try and green up the space. CMG have provided a rather unusual take on garden design but a refreshingly original one nevertheless. And for $500, who’s complaining? Not the owners we bet.

It just goes to show that there’s no such thing as a boring outdoor space, just boring design and gee, what a difference a little imagination makes…

    Great idea. Such simple ideas offen lend themselves to more contemporary design. This shows that simple design ques can also be used to create a space that seems to have evolved opposed to created.
