training vines up brickwork and
planting around foundation walls ,
planting boulevards/hell strips , and you’ll even take a trip into the
side yard .
Shade gardens ,
privacy screening , and
security dos and don’ts are covered, plus how to intermingle edibles and landscape plants, cactus and succulent gardens, birdbaths, and much, much more.
With the sage advice and step-by-step projects of this comprehensive guide, convert your front yard from a bland grasscape to a vital living space.
