Gardening is the art of growing plants with the goal of crafting a purposeful landscape. Residential gardening most often takes place in or about a residence, in a space referred to as the garden. Although a garden typically is located on the land near a residence, it may also be located in a roof, in an atrium, on a balcony, in a windowbox, or on a patio or vivarium.

Gardening also takes place in non-residential green areas, such as parks, public or semi-public gardens (botanical gardens or zoological gardens), amusement and theme parks, along transportation corridors, and around tourist attractions and hotels. In these situations, a staff of gardeners or groundskeepers maintains the gardens.

Indoor gardening is concerned with the growing of houseplants within a residence or building, in a conservatory, or in a greenhouse. Indoor gardens are sometimes incorporated as part of air conditioning or heating systems.

A Canoga Park backyard is a calm meditation on its owner's Indian roots. PAVAN BHATIA is relaxing poolside, watching son Neil swimming in the light of a summer moon.

Rimrock Ranch fuses urban design with the rugged high desert
Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0700
Architect Lloyd Russell created the home, near Palm Springs, as an escape for musician and surf wear entrepreneur Jim Austin. HERE IN the high desert north of Palm Springs, the tranquillity may be inspirational, but the elements can be harsh. Coping with 100-plus heat one month, flurries of snow in another can prove tough for residents in the cramped, wooden homes typical of the area -- some left from when this enclave was built as a film set for the westerns of Roy Rogers and Gene Autry.
With the Adirondack chair, necessity was the mother of invention
Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0700
A Massachusetts aristocrat saw a quick solution to a lack of lawn chairs while vacationing in New York's Adirondack Mountains more than 100 years ago. DESIGNED more than 100 years ago, the Adirondack chair has become an emblem of American summer -- a symbol of the country's simpler virtues, "just like Mom and apple pie," says Craig Gilborn, former director of the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake, N.Y.
