Pennsylvania gardener David Culp has created a dazzling garden around his 200-year-old farmhouse. The property had been misused for many years before David bought it, and he had to remove a mountain of junk. The rock garden he's planted resembles a tapestry or a painting. Using a palette of foliage colors, David has created a visual delight. The plant materials he used are typically suited to a more Mediterranean climate, but the plants thrive because the rock garden is dry and hot. The garden is based on straight lines, which David feels give it a sense of unity and also conform to the period during which the house was built. Curved borders didn't come into fashion until Victorian times. Rock walls define the square planting beds and frame the plants gracefully.
