Front Door: Create Your World

Your front door must create its own world.  What does this mean?  Block views that are not part of your world.  Do you see the neighbor's garage & parking court, below?  It is there.


Kitchen view, below.


2 decades of a holly hedge were shaded into sparseness & removed.  Anise, shade loving shrub, will be planted this week.

At the end of the day,  it is understood, we must all create our own world.

Garden & Be Well,      XO Tara

Pics taken at jobsite last week.  This client fascinates, she does not like blooming shrubs in her garden.  Layers & swaths of evergreens in mixed textures.  Quite smart, low maintenance, gorgeous all year.  She does have a sweet perennial garden.  We are adding evergreen ground cover at her front door zone, large boxwoods with square stone edging for each, a low brick wall with stone cap behind her perennial garden.  And she's choosing a historic garden gate for my carpenter, Magic Man, to make a pair.

  2. How I love Holly! She does not love me, however.
