Small Spaces (PASGH)

There is no area too small to showcase your beautiful flowers.  Taking small spaces and getting results is what you’ll see in this episode of P. Allen Smith’s Garden Home. 

Construction Update
Outdoor Kitchen
An outdoor kitchen really is the ultimate when it comes to blurring the lines between inside and out. You've got all the comforts of a kitchen that would be indoors plus the accessibility to the outside, so it's easy to harvest fruits and vegetables from the garden, wash them, and prepare them for a meal. It also creates a wonderful gathering place outdoors.  Watch a video showing the outdoor kitchen at the Garden Home Retreat.
