Satrina0's Front Foundation garden

Created on Friday, 21 Sep 07

Most of the plants in this garden came with the house— sadly, I have no cultivar names for them. I’d like to widen the bed and work in some mass plantings and additional texture to get rid of the “row of plants” effect.

Garden Type: Foundation | Sun: Full Shade | Soil: Silt
