cmagnus's .._Foundation_.. garden

Garden Type: Foundation | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Combination I'm Organic!

I was going to fill the foundation plantings with edible herbs, but our soil turns out to have lead in it and we can’t build raised beds right against the siding of the house. So instead this will be a more ornamental garden geared towards beneficials and flowers.
