Front Garden Make-Over

[Robinia]

Can anyone recommend a good site with ideas for front gardens please? I'm reasonbly knowledgeable about plants but not too confident on design & I've got an area (south facing) about 5m. x 3m. that I want to make easy to maintain & attractive.

Have a look at a small book written by Gay Search called More Front Gardens, ISBN 0-563-37113-7. Another book to look out for is Gardeners World 30 Designs For Small Gardens ISBN 0-563-37122-6 Happy gardening

Amazing Newt thank you - I would have given you 5 stars if it were possible! Will work my way through them (I love the petal shaped pavers on the Taunton site).

Wow, five stars! I did give you alot of them didn't I. Oh well, don't stay up all night. Wish you could post pictures here. I'd love to see what you end up doing! Glad you liked the sites. I like the Tauton site too. Enjoy, Newt
