Water drainage
The old house, built in 1944, has several large gardenia bushes, a row of boxwoods, blueberry bushes and a row of overgrown euonymus fortunei shrubs with the yellow leaves. I would like to remove the euonymus bushes.
We need ideas on ways to direct excess rain water and I need ideas about where to begin a new garden in an old yard. How should I begin? A neighbor has said it is too wet to have a garden:(
