When Renee contacted me, she told me she wanted a Mediterranean inspired garden. The following pictures show how we transformed her front entry,front yard, and backyard areas into relaxing, welcoming areas that will enhance your senses of smell and texture. Not to mention watching some wildlife enjoying her home also.
These containers make a welcoming entry to Renee's house.
A Yellow Dot Wedelia was planted in this tall glazed urn. It has bright yellow daisy like flowers.
Multi-trunk Roebelini palm with elephant food and gopher plant. A sweet potato vine will cascade in the summer heat.
A large Cherry Laurel planted in an oversized glazed pot with coleus, and plumbago. You can see the top of the tree through the clear story windows of the house.
Front Yard Planters
Before
An overgrown bouganvillia was removed from this planter. A 24" box sized Mastic multi-trunk tree was planted in its place. Blue plumbago and daylilies were filled in the space. The plumbago will cascade down the wall as they grow.
After
Morea Iris (butterfly iris) were planted against the wall. Their iris like flowers are white with yellow and blue centers.
Upright Rosemary, Lavender and Rain lilies were planted in a descending triangle order. These took the place of a small patch of grass that was not functional.
Before
The plants in the front yard bed were removed and replaced with pink flowering Indian Hawthorne. They will be able to grow to a nice shaped hedge. A multi-trunk Roebelini palm was planted in front of the window.
After
Agapanthas and white flowering pentas were grouped in the corner of the garage.
A "Pam's Pink Honeysuckle was put in the green pot to cascade down.
