I only recently became obsessed with indoor plants, and I decided to also work on the outdoor gardens. I always considered myself to have a “black thumb” but since I like learning new things and have decided to work on the feng shui energy of my house I decided it needed an overhaul. I only have the one before photo, but three dead hedge shrubs had to go. About twenty years of weeds had to be pulled. I wish I had taken some before photos of how bad the weeds were. There is a weed my mom calls “mile a minute” that was everywhere. The one stump will have to be professionally removed, the old shrubs need to be trimmed a bit more and then I will finish the mulching. I got some bee balm, petunias, three new shrubs, mulch and some river rocks and this is how it turned out. It’s not perfect or professional looking like most of the houses in my neighborhood, but I think it looks a lot better and not overrun and neglected anymore.
