jacqueline's Front Verandah garden

Garden Type: Patio | Sun: Partial Sun | Soil: Potting Mix

The patio is our front verandah or porch leading to the front entry of our home.

Five painted cement pots contain various herbs and vegetables. Three sets of three hanging baskets contain annual and ornamental plants, and herbs.

There are two pots on either side of the step up to the verandah. One contains a pineapple top and the other rosemary with some parsley at the base.
