Plant This Easy Garden Bed

Many suburban front yards are like shy kids at a prom: They stand in the shadows, afraid to draw attention to themselves. That’s a shame, because a front yard can become a handsome complement to a home with just a little effort. This suburban front yard had foundation beds and multistem birch. Those were a good start, but they didn’t go far enough. Combined with the driveway and sidewalk, they made the large swath of lawn seem like an afterthought.
