The Mendelsons created a sidewalk garden to cheer passersby. The white picket fence and old-fashioned hollyhocks are a perfect way to continue the cottage theme. Because of the charming landscape, neighbors often stop by and talk to the Mendelsons as they work.
Test Garden Tip: Raising your sidewalk garden a couple of feet with a stone retaining wall like the Mendelsons did will help increase privacy. But because of the charming nature of the fence and plants, your yard won't feel cold and uninviting.
