A sycamore arbor serves as a transition between the garden along the front of the house and the pool and patio area. Flanked with flowering crape myrtles, the arbor’s rustic look juxtaposes with the white picket fence that rims the property. “It’s a little less predictable, and fits the natural feel of our garden,” adds DuBois. Potted dwarf zinnias mark the entrance, while butterfly bush surrounds a nearby birdhouse.
