Richard Hartlage, Associate Principal, AHBL, Inc., Tacoma, WA

Richard Hartlage believes that gardens should be a fusion between the best plants, strong landscape structure and ease of living. Imagine a planting of 10,000 bamboo grasses rolling up and down crescent shaped berms; a composed meadow made from scratch; or inverted, hanging terra-cotta pyramid pots planted with a rich array of tender plants! His exciting plantings perform and respond to the climate and design context of architectural style and region. You're sure to be inspired and take away jewels of practical advice.
