It's time for another 'before & after' post from one of our awesome gardens from last summer. We are getting pumped about the coming season and looking at our past projects instead of thinking about the cold is way more fun.
(Cold? What cold? Sorry, I'm still in sunny Mexico but I heard it's pretty freezing back home. Sorry guys, don't mean to rub it in.. :D )
Anyway, this is a wonderful backyard garden we did in Windsor Terrace.
BEFORE
The yard had preexisting turf lawn and a stone-walled back and side perimeter bed laid out.
AFTER
We added Ilex Sky Pencils along the back fence. These keep their color year round and sport nice purple berries in the fall. They will grown to 6-8 ft tall!
Along the sides, we added some Hydrangeas which will grow huge with big beautiful snowball looking blooms. Can't wait to see how big they are later this year!
Flowering perennials were selected in purples, yellow, and white which will bloom from May through October.
The wall is a nice feature in the yard and we wanted to accent it by having plants that will creep over the sides.
Look at that yarrow shine!
All of these perennials are loved by pollinators! That purple Agastache blooms so late into the season giving bees food when there is little else around in bloom.
Here's one now!
Our "Before and After"s are usually photos from right after we plant. Plants are just in their infancy when they are first planted. They will grow so much and fill out the yard. I can't wait to go back this season and get some real "After" photos to see how much everything has grown.
