Front Gardens

An attractive front garden can add thousands to the value of your house, and a welcoming front door surrounded by a fragrant climbing honeysuckle can instantly make you relax and feel at home.

The growing conditions can be difficult, and space limited, especially if you plan to fit in a wheelie bin, recycling bin and a car. However, a good design can solve this problem, turning the front garden into a haven for wildlife or a pretty cottage garden. Small details can provide the finishing touches; attractive planters holding reliable evergreens; raised beds for 'growing your own', ornamental grasses lining the pathway or a scented climber surrounding the front door.

If everyone on the street was to improve their front gardens, imagine the wildlife that would be attracted to the area, as each garden has an individual microclimate.
