A Front Yard Garden
Designer, artist and lifestyle expert Vivian Reiss grows a whimsical mix of edibles and flowers in front of her home in the historic Annex in downtown Toronto. Her garden mixes 16'-tall Hungarian broom corn with red amaranths, zinnias, eggplants, kale, artichokes and more in a happy tumble of colors and forms. Don't let a small space limit you, she says. "Think big," and vary the heights of your plants for excitement. "Think of your garden as a canvas."
