Deborah Cerbone Associates, Inc. These small hedges are Dwarf English Boxwood, Buxus sempervirens suffruticosa and are hardy to zone 5. We are zone 6 where this garden is in central NJ. My guess is that part of Canada is probably a cold hardiness zone of 3-4.and I don't believe there are any boxwood varieties that would survive a winter there even with protection. Wish I had better news for you :( Deborah

Deborah Cerbone Associates, Inc. Great question! I would recommend you hire a local licensed Landscape Architect. They will come out to your property and evaluate your site and your needs and come up with a plan that is specific to your site that addresses all your wishes and the opportunities and constraints of your site. Most do not charge for the initial consultation, but do charge for the drawings. Good Luck!

houssaon Once we see the exterior of your home, we'll be able to make better suggestions.
But I did find some porticos on French style exteriors. This one is a stone (and possibly stucco) front, where the door is recessed all around: French Manor House Style Entry It looks to be about 6 inches on the sides and about a foot in the center top.
This copper roof sloped shed portico with corbles gives a bit more protection and of course you could have one designed that projects even more: The Kimble
This is a pergola fronted portic that could be designed to include a roof. The two columns are appropriated for the French design: Austin Patterson Disston Architects

sharonwagoner I was wondering the same thing, what are the white flowers in the planters? Also how long are they in bloom, and do they become just green after the bloom time?

Deborah Cerbone Associates, Inc. The silver plants are a non-flowering lambs ears Stachys 'Big Ears'. The white flowered bedding plants are a white annual vinca. The tiny white flower in pthe planters is an annual Bocopa which stays flowering all summer .

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Beth Woodson and Kristy Harvey to How Does Your Garden Entertain?
It goes without saying that one of the most important elements of an outdoor event is the landscaping. An intricately designed yard like this one is perfect for entertaining, especially when a server mingles to make sure everyone's mint julep stays full.
added by Amy Renea to Cream-of-the-Crop Vegetable Gardens
A traditional potager has separate beds with one crop each. Today's potager-inspired gardens combine edibles and ornamentals but draw design cues from classic plant groupings.
added by Beth Woodson and Kristy Harvey to Formal Parterre Gardens Rule the Landscape
While small herbs and flowering plants were the norm in English gardens prior to the parterre, Mollett chose boxwoods to border the designs so that the design was more prominent from above. Incorporating both boxwoods and small flowers and herbs into the interior landscape is a great idea because they smell sweet, look lovely from feet away and make seasoning dinner a breeze.
added by Debra Prinzing to Garden Design Essentials: Positive-Negative Space
Formal knot gardens and parterre-style designs allow for the horticultural play of positive-negative forms. We first notice the dark green boxwood X-shape design of the two formal beds. Then, the silvery white contrasting elements (in the triangular sections) catch the eye. Which section is the positive form and which is the negative? You need both to complete the design.
added by Frank Organ to Geometry Roots Great Garden Design
Later these basically two-dimensional designs were "embroidered" with plants, creating a richly colored pattern. This contemporary take on a knot garden uses a simple mixture of whites and grays to re-create this ordered style around the most basic of geometric shapes: squares and triangles.Small knot gardens can be a practical and decorative way to grow culinary herbs.

6. Build a white pergola. There's really nothing like a well-built pergola to offer shade and respite outdoors. If your home is white, consider a matching pergola — a bonus room from which to enjoy the view. Flank it with silver and white plants, framed in a classic boxwood parterre for classical elegance.
