What’s growing in garden stores and catalogues this season? Fresh varieties of perennnial favorites. Mixed in among classic tools and toys are clothes designed especially for dirt-digging. Sturdy but stylish accessories abound, as do furnishings for a well-tended landscape. Most everything is available in an array of down-to-earth tones that coordinate nicely with the new look and feel of Southern California gardens.
