Yucaipa, CA September 6, 2007—The section is filled with helpful insights and design tips by Garden Artisan Scott Cohen of The Green Scene in Canoga Park,CA.

"The allure of sitting around a fire has been around since the beginning of mankind. Fire provides warmth, light, a cooking source and, of course relaxation. A dancing flame has a mesmerizing affect that encourages you to unwind and settle in," explains Cohen.

The popularity of fire pits, or conversation pits, as they are commonly called, has grown rapidly in recent years. It is important when designing and building these features to remember a few helpful tips: locate features in areas where guests can enjoy a view, place features where they can be seen and enjoyed from indoors as well, locate the fire pit in an area where it will be most enjoyed, and always plan for safety, keeping away from high traffic areas. Following these tips will ensure a safe and enjoyable feature that will last several decades.
