• For small spaces, use pots and planters, or a raised flower box made from pallets.
• For larger areas, use rocks to make borders and choose plants that are well-suited to the local climate.
• For low-maintenance flower bed ideas, try shrubs or drought-tolerant plants.
• Use traditional cottage garden plants like speedwell (Veronica), catmint and forget-me-nots.
• Place taller plants at the back, with lower growing species in the front, and you’ll have the perfect front yard garden bed against a picket fence. ²
• Consider using foundation plants like Stonecrop Rock 'N Round® 'Pure Joy' Sedum, Catmint ‘Cat’s Pajamas’ and ‘Cat’s Meow’ Nepeta, Hosta Shadowland® ‘Wheee!’, Ornamental Onion ‘Serendipity’ Allium, Globe Arborvitae Tater Tot® Thuja occidentalis, Juniper Tortuga™ Juniper communis, Panicle Hydrangea Little Lime® Hydrangea paniculata, and Switch Grass Prairie Winds® 'Totem Pole' Panicum virgatum. ³
