        <media:description><![CDATA[When Rika Houston knocks on doors to invite neighbors over for an impromptu screening, she’s never short of takers. Located in the front yard of the Los Angeles home she shares with her husband, architect Brian Ten, the cinema is unlike any other in town. Sinking into the cushy sofa with lanterns lit overhead, guests watch  The Birds  or  The Sound of Music  on a screen nearly as big as the garage wall. “In the summer, every Friday is movie night,” says Houston.With the help of landscape designer Mark Tessier, Ten overhauled their yard to create a gathering spot for the family, which includes 9-year-old daughter Maya and teenage sons Cole and Taro. But as movie night took off, the couple has been happy to see how it has transformed the neighborhood too. “It’s one thing to bump into someone on the street and share a few words,” says Ten. “With this outdoor theater, we’ve gotten to know our neighbors much better.” Design: Mark Tessier Landscape Architecture, Santa Monica;   marktessier.com  ]]></media:description>

'Garnet' would be a great front row plant in an all pink border. Picture it backed by pink  coneflowers  (Echinacea),  Sedum 'Autumn Joy' , and  Agastache  'Raspberry Summer', for instance. But this dark cherry pink shade would work in just about any color scheme. ]]></media:description>

Tip plants out from their pots and gently loosen any matted roots with your fingers, then plant each seedling so that the top of its rootball is level with the soil. Water your new garden well, even though it’s late afternoon (usually, you’ll want to water it in early morning). ]]></media:description>

        <media:title>Embrace emptiness</media:title>
        <media:description><![CDATA[A garden should help you relax and reboot. That’s its proper purpose, according to the Japanese aesthetic called  shibui.  “We all need a peaceful place away from the craziness, and there’s no better spot for that than in nature,” says Venice designer André Price Jackson  ( jackpricedesign.com ),  who embraces this philosophy—with a very West Coast spin—in his own garden. The plantings are spare, paving is natural. His art is easy and inventive. But you don’t need to create a garden that looks Japanese to achieve  shibui ’s effect. Just make its underlying design ideas your own. Japanese gardens feel serene because they’re not crowded. Bare spaces are as important as filled-in spaces. That’s why André left the center of his garden open and planted surrounding beds with ground-hugging plants like prostrate juniper, dymondia, and blue senecio. ]]></media:description>
