Abstract:

Nichole Lachance, of Asheville, is a landscape designer who maintains her own gardens with minimal fuss. Her gardens emphasize low-key maintenance; most of the plants are kept small on purpose. To make the most of her garden, she shopped for the necessary characteristics, not plant species. For example, she noted environmental conditions in her yard such as sun, moisture, area available and chose plants that fit those growing requirements.
