Mulch can be as simple as a bale of straw to protect your perennials over winter, or as colorful as recycled glass bits to provide some design interest for your landscape.

Flowers aren’t the only ones producing color in a garden – ornamental foliage plants can be stand-out additions, too.

Don’t relegate your most beautiful flowers to the back yard. A front-yard garden can boost your curb appeal and give a lush and fragrant greeting to your front-door guests.

The front entry provides a unique space for garden plantings which can welcome your guests and make a statement about the owners inside.

A simple raised garden bed is a landscape project a handy do-it-yourselfer might enjoy, but for larger projects it’s best to consult a professional landscape design architect.

Special populations that include would-be gardeners with bad knees and backs – including wheelchair users – can garden or landscape with raised gardening or planting beds.
