A Garden for Living In

This Southern California gardener created a series of garden rooms where she can enjoy her garden year round.

Front Yard Garden with Chair
 

Start in Front

Your front yard sets the tone of your landscape. Here, the Broidys ensured plenty of curb appeal with a lush lawn and beautiful plantings of roses, lavender, and other blooms leading to the house.

By the way: See the last picture in this slide show for what the Broidys had to start with. The impressive transformation is sure to inspire you as it did us.

Test Garden Tip: Don't overlook the importance of your lawn. Brown, patchy grass can distract from the beauty of your landscape and home.
