I want to share with you some
simple things you can do
that will not cost the Earth.
The secret of creating a beautiful
planting display by your front door.
I would like to share with
you what I feel is
a very important gardening
issue in 2021.

I recently was on a vacation
and came across some very
unattractive looking
huge brick,newly built
properties.
Of course they will take
time to blend into the
landscape.
See the steps below.
1.Think about the position,
is it sunny or shady?
2. If there is space you
could have tallish planters
with summer flowers
like 'verbena bonariensis',
poppies and
grasses perhaps.

3. Stand outside the front
of your property and
see what it looks like
with no greenery.
4. As there is not likely to be
a lot of space, think about
a few 'standard' trees or
roses either side of
the front door.

5. Something like bay
trees, known as 'standards'
look like 'lolipop' shapes.
They always looks very
formal if well pruned into
a nice ball shape.

6. Something that is symmetrical
would look really good
and break up the colour
of the red bricks.

7. These 'standards' as mentioned
at point 4 above, are
grown for some years
so you will need to
pay more for them than
you might think.

8. Do you want
something scented?
9. Do you just want
year round colour?
10. Do you want to share the
cost with your neighbours
and spend a bit more?
Follow these tips and
ask me if you need
any more advise.
Happy Planting.
Please dear readers of 'new builds',
