Master Plan

Divide grasses under kitchen window so there is a full line of grasses. Remove grasses on retaining wall so the lilacs can spread out.












Move lilac on bottom corner. Use this one to fill in on East side of house.












Pull out hydrangea and purple salvia. Reseed next year with Zinnia Mix.




Remove black eyed susan's and iris so the roses have no competition.





Purchase 3 more butterflybushes for corner.






Use lilac from south side of house to fill in on this side.






Pull out these hostas. Leave day lillies.







Pull out B.E.S, hostas and overgrown lillies









Take out B.E.S







Trim Spruce and Plum tree. Install twinkle lights in plum tree.












Remove Iceberg Roses.


























Thin B.E.S. Remove hosta. Would like to grow a ring of grass around the plum tree.







Thin B.E.S. Move the russian sage in front of the hydrangeas.








Remove iceberg and yellow roses. Line front with B.E.S.
