Category: Garden Novice | Posted: Sun Jul 05, 2009 10:45 pm I finally finished my bathroom remodel and decided to treat myself to some new plants. I've been wanting to plant drought tolerant plants and so I went to the local garden center and bought several pots of different plants. We have an upper ledge to our yard that has dying grass and on one end is a palm and the other end is a small banana tree grove. In the middle is a lemon and cherry tree.
I plan on putting different gardens in between these focal points and will include a lavender garden, day lily garden, a shade garden with mixed plants and a sun garden with mixed plants. I'll fill it all in with mulch to cover the grass. I don't know how it will all look in the end but I love planning the gardens and buying the plants!
I have 4 lavender plants but I'm going to buy 5 more and have a nice lavender garden. I want a variety of day lilies for the other sunny side. The hostas and ferns for the shade garden along with a garden ornament. I don't know where I'll put my lemon rose geranium but I love how that plant smells!
