I love this frontyard right by the entrance of Julius Khan Park.

We have frontyard flower gardens and backyard vegetable gardens.

It's not much to look at right now but the overhaul will soon commence! I have a frontyard flower bed, a side walkway and a soon-to-be backyard oasis (fingers crossed). Wish me and my lite-green thumb luck!

Frontyard is mostly flowers and some berries.Deer can access this area (for now). Backyard is vegetables, greenhouse, flowers and berries.Deer cannot access unless someone leaves the gate open.

large block with about 30% wanna-be lawn area. about 20% no-care needs nothingness. 4 gardenbeds (Cordyline, yakka, grasses) frontyard. And 4 gardenbeds ( Roses,golden cane,geranium etc) backyard. Geraldton Waxes on 2 fences. Limestone underground, sandy soil and no bore-water, but Retic.

Backyard and frontyard - all round really. Full sun, partial sun, dappled sun!

my father and i built these gardens. it all started from a chinpmunk named charlie.. then we built a 10x10x10 birdhouse. then it just grew into many gardens ..every year we add on this is our 3rd year. remember we are both dissable, dad (72) with heart problems and me (44) with kidney failure. plus we are not carpentures . dad loves the roses they are almost every where you look. me i just love being in the dirt playing.. always moving and reaarraging plants.. i have some wild pansys that just come up any where and every where. my dad would always pull them out . this year i had too put my dad in a semi-home.. with his family in nanaimo so i send him pictures all the time so he won't miss them growing. thanks dad for doing this for me it gives me something to do whike i'm waiting for a kidney... i love you and the garden... and i hope other people will too. ive already had the newspaper come around too see and people coming over too take pictures... happy gardening...

This is a beautiful garden in front of a dramatic English Tudor home on one of San Francisco's best streets

I like to plant whatever catches my eye. I have two perennial gardens featuring oriental poppies, lilies, hostas, astibles, columbines,daisies,blackeyed susans,purple cone flowers. Just to name a few of my favorites. One garden gets full sun all day. The second gets the morning sun only and shade from the house for the rest of the day. Due to the fact that I'm on the lake I have to plant species that can tolerate the wind.

I grow fruit in veges in my front yard, and have goats and chickens out the back. I used to have my garden out the back, but gardens and goats and chickens aren't a good mix lol so starting from scratch. I use tyres for my raised beds, I'm trying to demonstrate how to garden cheaply, with minimum effort and maximum results. I'm just starting to put my first veges in again now, and would like to grow enough to be able to take fresh produce to the local farmers markets....we'll see. I also love flowers, I'm a rough and ready gardener so nothing looks too pretty or perfect, but I hope to create an abundance of fruit veges and flowers in my little space, I'm really into recycling, I think nature sets a perfect example there and I just try to follow it.

I love gardening,I find it very relaxing & peaceful!!

bleeding heart,

small garden slowly changing from cottage to a more formal design

It's full of shade and full sun plants.

just gorgeous I have photo's on face book rejean chretien in my photo's

Down sizing.Rock feature with drift wood and lights and a 1/2 barrel with annuals on one side of lawn. Small bed with clematis and lillies and a few annuals by living room window.There is also a 4x4 post with 2 hangers on it. Long narrow bed with all annuals against front side walk with 3 shrubs on one end. Raised flower-bed against house has a Clematis and rest is annuals. We have added a lot of compost to the grass and over-seeded with a new grass seed for northern climates. It needs less water and grows more slowly. We also have about 8 pots on steps with assorted annuals in them.

When we bought our house 9 years ago, we had a below grade garage attached to the house. The retaining wall was moving and cracking our foundation, so we had to remove it. It is now a walkout basement with a terraced garden beside it. It looks great now instead of what I used to call it: Our landslide.

This is a new garden started in fall 2007. Most plantings are from my back yard. Again, this garden is mostly perennials but I add bulbs for the spring.

specimen blue spruce perennial bed w/ lilacs, hostas, peony, spirea, fiddlehead ferns, bleeding heart, Sweet William, columbine, yellow stonecrop, variegated tall grass

We have a work in progress. Going to be a major expansion this fall, since the perennials are trying to break out!

Located on the Corner of Munroe Ave & Weedon St. I have a mix of everything growing from plum trees, apricot trees, cherry trees, apple, and pear. If you look closely up close, up you can see the variety of perennials and annuals all worked together in the beds. I have grapes;vine, morning glories, and hibiscus flowers, blue-hydrangea. I love to plant from seed and always have a display show for my drive buy audience that always stop and looks at my blooming showcase. I do grafting, and also like to start new cuttings. 2009-summer is not the greatest show. =Very Wet and not so much flowering this year.

We bought a house in 2007. At the front was a porch that needed re-building, a narrow strip of earth enclosed by a cement wall that had presumably once been a garden, a cement walk, and grass. It was boring and not very "green". We re-built the porch with wide welcoming steps using Trex composite lumber and a railing of salvaged spindles. We removed all the concrete and grass. Instead, we laid a curved flagstone path, which allows drainage. We turned the remaining space into a garden, planted with mostly perennials, and centred around a semi-dwarf cherry tree we planted in memory of my father. The yard is about 17 x 23 feet, and it faces east, so gets early morning sun on all of it. But as the day continues the shadow moves from the house outward, so about half is a shade garden and the rest more sunny. All plants are easy-care, and we've incorporated a little companion planting (chives and alium near a rose bush, etc.), focused on native and drought-tolerant species, included wildlife friendly varieties, and mixed in a few edibles amongst the ornamentals. Compost enriches the soil, and leaves and natural wood chips are used as mulch in some areas. We've tweaked it a little since the initial planting in the spring of 2008, moving and adding a few things. But generally the garden is thriving, and we've received many positive comments about it. In it's first year, we even entered it in the "David Suzuki Digs My Garden" contest, and won an honourable mention!

A range of full shade to full sun. Some raised flower beds, displaying a mixture of shrubs, tree, perennials and annuals. A bridge and dry river bed adds interest to the front yard, and a pond enhances the back yard.

South exposure but some decent shade behind the spruce. Got a new place and had to start all over again. Some wonderful irises, thyme and a dianthus collection, many sale plants still in their pots, still yardstone to put out. Toddlers take up a lot of the former time and energy we had! At least there is some youthful enthusiasm for watering :) An even rougher but larger backyard plot has blanketflower, raspberries, thornless thistle and deep-coloured delphiniums. Sea holly, usually a failure for the past many years, finally came back with a beautiful purple-blue sheen on the stems. Grass and willow invading; when will we have the time and energy? Trying to encourage a combo apple to grow.

Garden is fully raised beds, apparently I am told this is the secret to my success. I am a new gardener, all are perrenials accept for a few herbs and peppers.

My garden is an evolving garden. I am learning what will live with minimal care and attention. I am moving to xeroscaping slowly as I do not want to water more than what I can do with the inground sprinklers. I have some amazing stuff during the spring but this year the gardens are laking some greens later on. I love my pink iris, this one I dedicated to my mother who passed away February 25 2009.

A new garden planted last fall more added this spring..Still a work in progess.

3 year old, north facing plot, we have planned from scratch. I will add photos soon.

Flowers and vegetables in my front yard; hated mowing grass. A work in progress.

Samll garden with a wildlife pond, surrounded by rocks, wood & shells as main feature. Mostly indigenous. Near the sea. Mostly shaded.

Low mainance, part formal, part informal

The garden is filled with plants, almost a bit of everything. Aloes, roses, cycads, Acapanthes etc.

It is a small garden in a townhouse complex, comprising lawn, shade plants, fairly eclectic mix. Quite a few pots. Summer rainfall, frosty winters.

Formal and clipped garden with topiaries, edgings and hedges

beautiful

Started out aiming for a more formal garden. Then dabbled in a more cottage garden approach. Years of neglect for many reasons. Now hoping to obtain a low maintenance, colourful/fragrant kind of rambling effect.

My garden is grown from cuttings and plants that I generously collect from friends and family. I do not have a planting plan so the garden planted all over the show. I do not have gardening "rooms" but would love to incorporate that at some stage. This spring was the best my garden has ever looked. Still waiting for a garden bench to put under the massive tree in the front garden.

lots of roses, a few vege few succulents a real mixed up lot.

A mixture trying to go indigenous. Started from scratch.

The front yard is a mixture of shade and sun. The house faces north and closest to the house I have had to plant shade loving perennials and shrubs. It has been quite a challenge to find plants that will bloom beautifully in the shade.

My garden is a very typical street garden. I am trying to grow some pot plants and in the mean time it looks good.

Home garden in Ilola, Vantaa. More pictures about project: http://www.kikaloo.com/html/puutarha_etusivu.html

front yard, bordering driveway - rock wall, two tiered garden

Love growing perennials and keep finding plants I 'have to have'. Finding spots for them gets harder every year!

- a small elevated bed in a tiny front yard, a patch of 'grass' and a miniscule flowerbed at ground level, filled (at present) with bright red begonias. Pebbled parking area.

1-acre sunny acreage garden with a surrounding shelter belt.

3 year old landscaping. East facing. Low maintenanace

The building of a perennial and herb garden

Southwest facing - parching! Very dry and windy! All lawn - 75' wide - with beds either side of the stairs. Right side: sedum,oat Grass, primrose (if it comes back). Left side: irises (including three pretty coral-colored German ones, 7-foot lilac bush and on the left property line: 2 potentillas (one will have to come out) and one spirea. Want to plant roses in left front bed. Also, there is a lone peony on the right side in a hole I dug (not a bed, but needs to turn into one). Also in the front, there is a beautiful, but aging weeping birch - need arborist - a golden elder bush that needs pruning at least twice per summer - and a large May Day tree. I am not great in the planning stage, but will do my best this LOOONG winter.

At this stage a new garden, ground with lots of building rubble, drainage quite well. In the shade I have tropical plants, in the semi sun ponytail, yesterday today tomorrow,no real colour.

With an Indian coffee bush in the middle. Red mulch, color flowers...

Overgrown wild forest garden,needs to be revamped and maintained. Definitely a work in progress! I discover new plants every time i clean up.Porcupines feast in the veggie patch!

Spring bulbs, summer annuals

Our garden is actually our whole yard. We have different things in different areas.

Sometimes struggling but we try very hard. Small and in a combination of pots and beds,, vege's and flowers

Mostly shaded area on east side, sunny on west side of house-pool area.

small garden , flowers and shrubs

A garden in the works. Trying to find plants and shrubs the deer won't touch.Not easy here where the deer don't read books

Brand new property as of 2009 so garden is still a project in progress. Had a hillside rock garden for 16 years in British Columbia, Canada. Now live in SE Ontario. Very different climate and soil - just learning.

Small garden

This will be the second year for my front yard garden.

PLANT VEGETABLES AND PLANT CUTTINGS AND ALSO FROM SEEDS. STILL A LOT TO LEARN

Ny little piece of paradise

hm... well..its just started to look like a garden

It is a small garden , I can call mainly container garden because I have two dogs as well and this is the only solution for garden and dogs.

Established September 6th, 2009 in Honour of my beloved wife Dorothy (Nickels) Conlan. Open to the Public every September 6th for public viewing, memorial service.
