Our garden has evolved slowly, as my daughters, my husband, and myself have explored and experimented with different planting strategies and cultivars.

| The Front Yard Project Mar 03, 2012 | |
|
I have too many ideas for what I want for the front yard. I know I am for sure widening the driveway, making a path, putting in a porch, and tons of plants. Anyone have any new ideas? Favorite plants? |

Good luck! I'm looking forward to seeing all of ideas in pictures. I also see you are a Michigan gardener. I'm glad to see more Michigan gardeners are joining YGS. |

I know there should be more MI gardeners on here, but I am happy to scroll through and see there are quite a few already. Can't wait to get cracking on all these plans. |

Wish I could add th picture too. It is a round ball top one. Would make a beautiful statement for a yard. Front or back. Patio or garden. If I can get my other projects finished up, I may be adding this to our back garden area. Attracts the birds with the sound and provides fresh water {safely} for the bee's. With the small rocks set in the base bottom, the bee's/bugs can drink without drowning. Maybe even a solar power source fountain pump or outlet system for less "cord" worries.
Just thought I would throw it out there.
