This magnificent home's garden extends beautifully into the front yard. Landscaping ideas such as carefully manicured boxwood hedges, red decomposed granite pathways and surfaces, and bluestone slabs are carried through to the formal entry for a consistently elegant look. The geometric lines and the proportions determined in the expansive rear and side gardens are established in front yard landscaping, setting the tone from the moment visitors approach the home. Traditional formal garden elements, including a stone sculpture and spiral-pruned arborvitae, give the front yard landscape its own personality. Photo by Linda Oyama Bryan.

The design challenge was to conceal these high walls and create layering in shallow planting bed. I used many colorful succulents and "Polite Plants" that can fill in the spaces with minimal pruning. Gravel was added to prevent dogs that visit to kill the vegetation. Cassia leptophylla, Buddleia and Leucadendron Ebony.

Land2c Old trees were pruned and saved adding permanence to the newly built home. The entry landscape was worked around them. A pedestrian walkway off the screen to the left curves down to the front door through the landscape. The landscape is lushly planted with collections of the owner's favorite plants. Beds are attractive throughout the year with many evergreen plants.

This loggia is the perfect outdoor space to relax and enjoy the Florida weather with friends and family. From the thoughtfully designed landscaping bringing a green wallscape to my signature use of Moroccan desert lanterns. Michael Taylor furniture flanks the space as a #laverne bronze table centers the room.

Catmint (on the right; Nepeta - Latin Name) is a long blooming perennial for full sun and once established is very drought and heat tolerant. Usually blooming from May through most of June, they can be pruned back so that they can bloom multiple times throughout the summer here in Zone 6b. Quite a few nice varieties to choose from.
