Hard to believe this front yard was previously mostly huge jade plants! After a lot of removal of an overgrown and lackluster ornamental garden, this garden was renovated with colorful natives. A tricky east-facing garden that receives some morning sun and also some shade underneath the preexisting Japanese maple, lots of experimenting over two years of plantings finally resulted in a beautiful front yard. Super successful hellstrip conversion to native shrub border for everyone to enjoy.

One year after planting. Hellstrip looking great!

Enhancements one year after planting. New plants under the Japanese maple.
