Dry Creek Front Garden
Once filled with overgrown juniper shrubs, this Lafayette front garden was transformed into a vibrant flower bed with a cobblestone dry creek winding through the center. Located next to open land, deer are frequent travelers along this quiet street, making plant selection a sensitive task. The garden is anchored with an evergreen boxwood hedge and hebe shrubs to provide year round structure. Silver toned artemisia picks up the tones of the adjacent Colorado blue spruce with yarrow, dahlias, cape daisies, Japanese anemones, snapdragons, catmint, and lobelia to round out the jubilantly colorful flowering plants, providing interest throughout the seasons.
