1336 E Street SE. Color from perennials symmetrically spaced among well shaped shrubs along a tiny diagonal brick path -- all in a tiny space, with full sun.

600 Acker Street NE. With zero front yard, this gardener resorts to pots. With a tall Nandina on each side, geraniums in window boxes are joined by herbs, vegetables and colorful annuals.

312 A Street NE. A small front is crammed with sun-loving perennials, among them: peony, campanula, columbine, pink spirea, stokes aster and a white lace-cap hydrangea.

310 A Street NE. Lacy perennials, well mulched, give a delicate impression: Japanes maple, nandina, heuchera, with sweet woodruff in the front and white calla lilies in the rear.

712 A Street SE. A mass of pretty blooms in a 40-year-old garden. Holly and Nandina take up the rear, a pink hydrangea, red roses and red geraniums in an urn. A large kale, green barberry and annuals fill the space.
