In this episode of Houzz TV, interior designer Wendy Glaister gives a video tour of her backyard and side yards in Modesto, California. The outdoor spaces feature an herb garden, two fire features, several lounge areas, an outdoor kitchen, pergola-covered dining area, swimming pool and a rose-lined footpath with heart-shaped flagstones. Glaister talks about how she used mostly white flowering plants and why it’s important to let a space evolve over time.
