Asked to do a garden design for Dot and Russ Carson in Tualatin, Oregon, designer Phil Thornburg was faced with a blank wall that flanked the patio. His solution was ingeniously simple: treat it as an easel, frame it with a trellis covered by golden hop vine, and add water, sculpture, and color with a fountain and potted perennials.
