Our front garden.

November 2004 - present

 

This is what our house looks like when you drive up the driveway.

This was the front garden before we moved in. The blue junipers
beside the front door are nice. The rocks are nice. Everything else
must go! There were globe cedars in front of each basement window.

Now I've added two Japanese maples for height and colour. More
blue junipers for height between the windows and at the corner of
the house. Some Purple Palace Coral Bells for more colour and
Red twig Variegated Dogwood for colour contrast in both summer
and winter. We put in an irrigation system with a timer (even in the
planters near the door) and tons of mulch.

Here you can see the variation in height and colour better. The theme
is blue and burgandy with pink annuals.

This side has a weeping Japanese Maple, creeping juniper near the
rocks, Johnny-jump-ups and pansies.
