Garden design isn't always about the flashy redesigns that catch the eye of every passerby; sometimes, it is the quiet planting adding subtle beauty to the background of our lives. The brightly colored, tiered borders at Martin Short's Santa Monica home are the prime example.
A 1988 portrait captured the comedian goofing around in his backyard, with gorgeous purple, yellow, red, pink, and white wildflowers rising up behind him. The vertical stone planters help to create height, while a variety of small hedges build contrast with the brilliant florals. Though the look is understated, these beautiful plants are not soon forgotten.
