Front Garden

8 comments


The first project we undertook was adding borders to the front of the house in order to soften the view from the living room and kitchen window. We have decided to attempt and mainly white colour scheme with flashes of blue/purple. I love white flowers but feel you don’t often see them clearly. I’m hopefully that the red brick work will make a great background to see them against. We will these are some of the first plants we added. I have also planted a large number of white daffodils along with purple and white tulips and alliums.

Look forward to seeing that colour scheme in Spring.

(I like the curved edging to the lawn.)

Your wavy border edging looks a great contrast to the straight wall, which will make a good backdrop to your planting scheme.
