What is the best way to extend this flower bed using perennials and herbs? The area is shaded in the afternoon and receives the morning sun. I would like to have a short walkway to get to seating.
flowers and herbs would look great there! not sure where you live so would hate to suggest plants that do not thrive in your area but here are some things to keep in mind...1- make sure you have irrigation so your hardwork planting is not down the drain 2- choose flowers that will bloom at different times so all throughout the year you have color 3- my favorite trick is to drive around my neighborhood and see what is thriving and blooming, then I know I have a better chance of success with my plantings if they are already thriving down the street!
I'm not too sure how long the space is from the Adirondack chair to the point on the arrow. But what I think would be attractive is three beds, separated by brick paths that would lead to the seating area. They wouldn't have to be too deep, maybe 3 or 4 feet, that way you can weed and access them easily. You have a lovely large yard, so many possibilities.
Wow, Susan, I can just picture this as a flower garden. It will be gorgeous! I have written an article that I think you'd find helpful.
