This is the side entrance to the house. We redid everything from the Harry Lauders Walking Stick back. We removed a Potentilla, Purple Leaf Sand Cherry, and some Hybrid Teas to install the new garden. We even took the time to incorporate a yard of compost before installing the plants (too often neglected IMO).

I like the boxwood backdrop and the Korean Stewartia will be limbed up as it gets bigger. The house is 2 1/2 stories tall there and I wanted to bring things back down to scale. The homeowner wanted roses so I gave her some Fairies and Carefree wonder. The perennials are some Anemone, Heuchera, and Scabiosa.
