This design was an interesting one as its at the front of the house in between the two driveway entrances and is a blank canvass.
I have designed in a white picket fence to separate the flower bed from the road. Then I have added curled hedges to separate different areas.
Within each area is a colour themed garden of blue / purple, white, yellow, red / orange. Trees add height to the areas and there will be something in flower every month of the year. I wanted to make this area very interesting by slitting it into different sections with hedges of different colours too.
What's really works well is that to the fence side the taller plants will be and they layer down to ground cover on the side of the driveway so as not obscure the view.
