What's softscaping? Plainly said, it's anything that's not hardscape in the garden. Plants! But certain types of plants are better at softening than others. Paul Epsom visits a specialty grass nursery in New Hampshire to see some best bets, and there, he learns how grasses are year-round showstoppers. Jamie Durie visits the world-famous Filoli gardens in northern California to learn how good plant choices are used to soften design. Still have those green, hard-to-ripen tomatoes left in your garden? Use them up before the cooler weather sets in! Chef Michel Nischan shares a recipe for green tomatoes that you won't want to miss.
