TREAT THE GARDEN AS AN EXTENSION OF YOUR HOME, says selftaught gardener Jeri Cunningham. Jeri’s garden begins on her porch; it flows out the door and windows, beautifully framing her turn-of-thecentury cottage in Orange, California. Delphiniums in antique urns and coleus in vintage pots grace the home’s grounds, and metal chairs prop up ivy and trailing vinca. Pick flowers that match your furniture or that mean something special to you—they could even be an extension of a theme inside your home.
