Cottage garden style and wildlife habitat blend beautifully in the design for this front and side yard. A small seating area and a picket fence, anchored by a pair of flower-covered arbors, are cheerful focal points for the garden. Colorful flowering borders, stepping stones interplanted with low-growing groundcovers, and informal paths complete the look. Native plants and their cultivars provide food sources for birds and insects through pollen, nectar, leaves, seeds, and berries. Privacy screening is created through hedges of columnar evergreens and a proposed privacy fence along the west side of the property.
