Iechris's Front Yard garden

Created on Monday, 17 Sep 07

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.

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

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).
