This is along the side, I added river rock and a couple of roses. (There are five rosebushes there, you just can’t really see ’em yet!)
Want to see the rest of our yard?
Directly across from the roses on the other side of the driveway, 4 peonies. (Almost forgot about them, we’ve been trying to grow them there for years!!)
By my studio, rhodedenderon, climbing rose bush, azalea, some iris & tulips
alongside that corner, I added a foxglove. (See the difference between this pic and the one above it? I took that one a week ago, and took this photo yesterday.)
The front planter has a lot of lilies. My stargazers, tiger lilies, hummingbird plants, hosta, primrose, gerbera daisies, salvia and a few annuals to fill. We mulched it, too.
The other side front, mulched, added 20’ish annuals and a large hydreanga with the previous bunch of silver mound, tulips, mums, asiatic lilies, daisies, and a forsythia at the end.
This is what this used to look like, post studio-construction. Now it’s all purdyful and flowerful. Just naming a few of the dozens of perennials I planted, hibiscus, day lilies in two colors, two azaleas (one white & one dark pink), ground moss, creeping phlox, goldfinch columbine, I can’t even remember the rest.
This is our wildflower garden. This is what it looked like last year, it was out of control so I just put down some landscaping block (still need to set it) to define & contain the area.

Wow, you have an amazing green thumb 🙂 I would almost trade our balmy winter weather to be able to grow tulips.
I adore the painted planter! May have to borrow that idea 😉 Can’t wait to see your garden in all its glory!
I actually mixed up some paint this morning to give that front planter a facelift! It’s a couple of years old, and I have some new ideas I’d like to paint on it. I’ll post an update on that in the next couple of weeks, too!
I can’t wait to see it in all its glory, either! I’m hoping, crossing my fingers, that everything stays ALIVE! I kill everything- but that doesn’t stop me from trying!
:biggrin:
Gorgeous Leanne. I bet everyone passing by says “Ah, I bet an artist lives there”

Very, very pretty, Leanne! Good work!
Hey! When I turned off my Internet Security, I didn’t get the blank page when I submitted my comments. What do you know. I will have to get rid of Norton since it is expired anyway. What is it that you use?
It looks great, Leanne. I can’t wait to see it all in full bloom! Hugs, clara
[…] I put this floxglove in a week or so ago. (You can see it in the front of the 4th pic here.) I picked one that wasn’t on the verge of blooming because I like to wait. I like to know whether or not something I planted is going to make it, you know? I have a brown thumb, believe it or not – so that my yard is such a deep shade of green with splashes of such beautiful color and interesting flowers is very unusual to me and it’s taking some getting used to.

[…] feet long. Part of this project requires the major undertaking of transplanting everything on our back mound (7th photo), because we need the dirt. This stuff here is being replaced by the planter, so […]
