Front Yard DIY Garden Landscape Project

I found the most beautiful hanging baskets when shopping for groceries back in April. I could not pass them up. There were exactly five and thus started a project that I had been wanting to work on forever. 

We have a detached garage. The garage technically is in our backyard but the fence line starts at the garage on that side of our thus making for a long driveway. In turn it makes for an expansive fence line between our neighbors and us. I would love to have a bed put in going down the length of the fence but unfortunately that is not possible due to the utility lines that lie on our side of the fence. 

Instead of flower beds I decided to purchase large flower pots to line the fence and planted the hanging baskets in them. I then added a bird trellis that I had found at Costco to each pot to add dimension. 

As if the trellis was not enough I stuck a solar pathway light in the middle of each pot.

The solar lights add some wonderful lighting on what otherwise is a dark area of our yard. 

Here are a few other flowers around our front yard. I planted these a few years back and they continue to come back. They even sometimes try to bloom in the winter. 

Our Mexican Heather is doing fabulous this year!
