What Can You Do With a Blank Wall?

Along the side of her home she wanted to know about plant spacing.  Move them closer, prune larger, replace?  Perhaps none of those I said.  It's easy spacing for routine maintenance,  pressure washing or painting.
We decided leave-well-enough-alone!

Next.  What to do about the blank wall?  Espalier a shrub, plant a small tree?


Yes, the wall needs something but let's keep it simpler.

Her home is historic Williamsburg, we are sourcing a reproduction wall mounted sundial now.  Of course it can't be too small.  Scale matters here.

Fun, the hunt is on.
