Selecting Flowers for the Garden Video

Bob continues his tour of the exterior with landscape designer Ruth Foster. In the Elizabethan-inspired garden in the front of the house she explains the various flowers she has chosen for the outer border and how they are appropriate for Colonial theme. Over near the side of the house we learn more about the more naturalistic garden, a style that dates back to the American Revolution.
