My Front Garden
When we moved into our home 10 years ago this little patch was full of
tree stumps and lava rock. The hubs removed all of that, I added a double pot feature and began planting. Over the years I have added perennials to the garden space but I always use annuals in the pots. ing feature

I normally use a tall cordyline plant for the thriller of the top pot but this year I went with a salvia plant because Mr. B liked the purple. The rest of the pots were filled in with petunias.
I made a garden totem several years ago from thrift store glass and flat sided marbles.
I have also placed some features such as a ceramic snail named Sid and a frog we call Big Fat Bullfrog.
The third, medium sized pot, sits on the front porch. I again used a Salvia and filled it in with marigolds and petunias.
Along the front of the porch, where we like to sit in the evening and talk over the days events, we have two long pots along the railing.
