Front Walkway Garden Design Plan
Our front walkway is quite long and wide so my garden design involved the use of repetition to tie everything together.
Colour is provided in the shrub border by the use shrubs planted for their foliage (tricolor beech, coppertina ninebark, barberry, coral bells) and blooms (weigela, spirea, hydrangea, peonies). Evergreens provide winter interest.
A garden plan and complete plant list appears below while pictures can be seen in the Entrance Gardens Gallery and Landscape Projects Gallery.
