Front Garden Plants
The front garden is your home's handshake—the first impression that welcomes guests and frames your entrance. Here, plants need to work hard: looking good year-round, tolerating neglect, and creating an atmosphere that says 'home' before you've even reached the door.
Key Characteristics
- Year-round interest for constant kerbside appeal
- Low-maintenance for busy entrance gardens
- Neat growth habits that suit formal approaches
- Fragrant options to scent the path to your door
- Resilient plants that cope with foot traffic and pollution
Design Tips
Frame doors and paths with symmetrical planting for formal elegance, or soften hard landscaping with billowing plants. Evergreen structure is essential—you see your front garden every day. Add fragrance by the path: lavender, sarcococca, and daphne welcome you home with scent.
