“This garden is in the middle Keys near an open bay,” says Craig Reynolds. “We raised the pool to avoid flooding during storms and we used poured concrete on the deck, which was designed in a very organic shape without sides. That’s a Native American chickee, not tiki, hut, which was installed in the center of the garden. And we used tall hurricane palms and coconut palms for an overall tropical feel.”
