Gardening Your Front Yard
is an active, inspiring resource that shows you how to treat your front yard like a backyard without sacrificing beauty, from choosing the right plants to building front patios and walkways.
With her unique combination of DIY/building savvy and gardening expertise, author Tara Nolan (
Raised Bed Revolution
) weaves you past the main pitfalls you may encounter when trying to fit a garden or gardens between your home and the street. This beautiful and comprehensive hardcover book shows how to accomplish several hardscape projects, such as building front
patios
,
borders
,
edging
, and
walkways
, as well as making your own
raised beds
,
planting containers
,
trellises
,
rose arbors
,
privacy screens
, and more—all
custom-designed for the rigors of front-yard gardening
.
Gardening Your Front Yard
is a garden book in every sense of the word, however. Choosing the right plants is even more important when you are dealing with a small, highly visible area with less than ideal growing conditions—all common traits of most front yards. You will find advice on
training vines up brickwork
and
planting around foundation walls
,
planting boulevards/hell strips
, and you’ll even take a trip into the
side yard
.
Shade gardens
,
privacy screening
, and
security dos and don'ts
are covered, plus how to intermingle edibles and landscape plants, cactus and succulent gardens, birdbaths, and much, much more.
With the sage advice and step-by-step projects of this comprehensive guide, convert your front yard from a bland grasscape to a vital living space.
