Curb-Side Eureka Garden

Pink Flower Carpet Rose

Profuse flowers in a low-maintenance landscape.

This is what it looked like when I was called in, and just after planting. What tiny, baby plants!

Before - the Baby Garden

And here’s what those plants look like three years later, with regular care and organic fertilizer to help them be their best:

This garden gets a lot of compliments from folks walking past– the owners wanted a balance between cheerful, bodacious color, and not having to do too much garden maintenance.

We take care of the landscape maintenance once a month, and we spend about 5 hours per month taking care of this garden (there’s a back garden with lots of flowers, blueberries and some dwarf fruit trees, a front garden area around the walkway and door, and a long strip of flowers and low-maintenance shrubs along the drive).

For such a large area of planting, most gardens with a lot of flowers would require much more care to stay healthy and gorgeous.

Color! Vibrant, Vibrant Color.

I took care in the design phase to specify some real garden workhorses – plants that bloom almost constantly through the growing season but only need minimal care. Then we added some year-round interest by using a few ornamental grasses and plants with colored or interesting foliage, so that even in the depths of winter there is a feeling of motion and beauty in the garden.
