Flowering Foundation Gardens

Saturday June 27, 2009

What should you plant near house foundations? Well, you certainly shouldn't restrict yourself to the traditional evergreen shrubs, such as yews. Use plants that flower and create colorful foundation gardens.

Read the full article on flowering foundation gardens for more ideas.
