Landscape designer Chris Olsen knows that gardens don't need blooms to be interesting. In his West Little Rock backyard, he mixes foliage, colors and textures, like shiny 'Needlepoint' holly and variegated 'Escargot' begonia, to pack a visual punch. They form a backdrop for his favorite vintage finds, including these watering cans, which he uses to create a focal point in place of blooms. "They're great as a border along a pathway," says Olsen, "and everyone who happens to pass by notices them."
