Sally’s garden in Maryland, up front!

We ’ve call Sally Barker ’s garden in Baltimore a few times but we ’ve only ever see the back yard . Today we get to see a raw project in the front yard !

Sally says,“In the springtime of 2012 I decide to make a new front garden bed ( self - punishment ? ) . More ambitious than I in the beginning opine it would be , this garden lies mostly under the canopy of a kwanzan cherry tree Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree in 2/3 shade and 1/3 sun . give thanks good for great and reliable plants , including genus Dianthus , lambs ’ ears , sedum , heuchera , salvia , genus Epimedium , hosta , pulmonaria , and fearless geranium . I add enough leafage compost to enrich the soil while value the tree diagram roots .

“ for bring some order to this big outer space I began by lay out a route and supply some bowlder ( This part done by a landscape architect ! ) Then I worked around the shade and sun requirement using groups of flora – honestly more easy said than done ! I also admit a photograph looking across the street to my neighbors ’ young garden , which I was delighted to design because we get to revel the continuity with our own plantings . Hope you enjoy the photos ! ”

Beautiful , Sally ! I ’m thinking you may do no garden wrong … overbold of your neighbors to sign you on !
