Good afternoon, my reader. When arranging a front garden, it is possible not to provide for a fence from the street, it will be enough just to outline its boundaries. Of course, the fence will help hide the area of the site from the eyes of passers-by, but it will also visually reduce the area of the flower garden or composition.

Choosing plants for a flower garden
An evergreen plant can be the basis of the composition: boxwood or privet are good options. As it grows and the seasons change, suitable flowers are planted at the base to complement the composition. Such a solution will simplify the task of the gardener and save a lot of time: you do not have to completely change the flower garden.
Another secret to saving time and resources is planting undemanding shrubs instead of perennial flowers. So you do not have to free the plant from wilted flowers, waste time watering, and the shrubs will look more advantageous.
Gravel or large rocks will come in handy in filling in the gaps between grains and perennials. This will decorate the composition and prevent the growth of weeds, which will have a positive effect on cereals and other plants.
Types of front gardens
An open front garden will be appropriate if your site is in a quiet place and there is no need to hide the area from passers-by. However, the front border is necessary in any case, it can be created using large plants or medium-sized stones. But if lush trees already grow on the site, a front garden resembling a green carpet will organically fit into the general view.
If you need to fence yourself off from the road, unwanted attention of passers-by or noise, a front garden, closed by a hedge or a solid fence, is suitable. Unfortunately, the fence will visually reduce the space of the front garden, and this situation will have to be corrected. To do this, you need to add elements to the composition on which the attention of others will be focused. A fountain, flowering shrub, or flowers in containers are good options.
A low picket fence, a row of perennials or a hedge will help define the boundaries of the front garden without making it visually smaller. If you do this, passers-by will be able to see the front garden, but will not cross its borders. The advantage of this method is to maintain a view of the street from the site.
Unpretentious plants for the front garden
Perennial or annual flowers require a lot of attention and time, which not all gardeners can provide. Trees, shrubs, or ground cover plants are a good alternative to whimsical flowers. These plantings need only minimally nutritious soil and extremely rare watering. Cotoneaster and periwinkle are ground cover plants that do not require effort and attention at all.
Conifers and deciduous plants are hardy, they will be ideal components of the front garden. They are beautiful at any time of the year and at the same time are undemanding to care for. When creating a composition, do not be afraid to combine different trees, shrubs and flowers, this will make the front garden unique and attractive.
The device of the front garden is a matter that requires a little imagination and time. But it will be worth it and you will be able to enjoy the beautiful composition for a long time. Choose the type of flower garden that suits your site and don't be afraid to experiment.
