Builders often leave a narrow strip between the front sidewalk of a new home and the house or garage. This strip is difficult to mow and it's not easy to garden in, especially if the topsoil was removed. Although it can be a challenge, this space still offers an opportunity to create a beautiful garden.
With these factors in mind, we've designed a front-entry garden for a newer home. In addition to perennials and shrubs that bloom in spring, summer and fall, we chose plants with winter interest.
