iechris's Front Yard garden

Garden Type: Frontyard | Sun: Partial Sun | Soil: Clay

This is the garden in the front of my house and along the one side of my house that does not have a driveway. The side part of the garden gets a lot of shade due to overhanging trees.

    Thanks! I fell in love with it from a picture on the internet and it didn’t disappoint in person. Best of all, it is/was affordable enough I can afford to work on the yard (which had NOTHING planted when I bought it).
