garden outside the house

Color and overall texture of yard space

Garden

russet-colored nandina, crimson barberry, golden euonymous and blue lobelia make this small front yard exciting. The repetition of these plants across the front property line make it seem larger. (from Washington state - check how well those flowers grow here)

curb appeal

What about plants and landscaping? Should I consider putting in water resistant plants?

Yes, water is a limited commodity. Only 2.5% of the earth’s water is potable, so conserving water is of great importance. In the landscape it is important to recognize the proper plant for the proper location. Perennial native plants will thrive and require minimal water. Many are quite beautiful and will enable you to keep that curb appeal. Find ways to reduce the amount of lawn space. Lawns are the greatest users of drinking water. If you haven’t done so yet, transition to organic fertilizers & food, your plants will love you for it.

The contrasting colors of the russet-colored nandina, crimson barberry, golden euonymous and blue lobelia make this small front yard exciting. The repetition of these plants across the front property line make it seem larger. These plants were chosen to look good throughout the year.
