It’s that time of year…planting time. If you want your plants to look pretty in the summer, you have to plant them in the fall.
I did some landscape designing for one of my friends. I looked like one of these crazy people in the picture above who are climbing on steep ladders not really knowing what they’re doing.
What fun! Who knew?
With the help of my brother-in-law, Dan (a landscape designer at Pollock and Associates in Atlanta, Georgia), my design ended up looking great. Thanks, Dan!
I chose to make the break line between the grass and flower beds organic and extended it a foot or so larger on the left side of the front yard. The asymmetrical shape is balanced by the Dogwood Tree on the right.
I chose a variety of plants, shrubs, trees and flowers that add color, dimension, height and fragrance. (See above)
