In the back, I have an oval garden that was specifically planted to attract birds, bees and butterflies. Near it, I have other pollinator plants and herbs. There's a pine tree, also. On the north side of the house, I have a mulberry tree (I think there's a bee hive in there and 2 big honeysuckle bushes. In the front, I have 3 rose bushes, 1 yucca, a pinon, some wild berries, and 4 pine trees. In the front, there's also a little patio garden that gets indirect light that currently has ground cover, tulips, a lilac bush and 2 holly bushes. I am going to plant some native grasses in the front as well as some other hardy succulents as the house faces west.
Tell me what you think. I am open to suggestions!
Thanks,
Marie
