anelson's front lawn border garden

Garden Type: Flower | Sun: Partial Sun | Soil: Clay I'm Organic!

I inherited the border around the front lawn with the house. It was mostly a part shady summer perrennial garden dominated by astilbe, japanese anenome, and monarda. I have been adding shrubs and evergreens to try and make it look good for a longer season.
