How many of us neglect the area that we and our "back door friends" use everyday? This homeowner in Powhatan county wanted to it all: a cottage garden feel that delivered fragrance and color that was not overwhelming to maintain. The backyard entry was the perfect place to roll out the welcome mat! Plantings were selected for their color, disease resistance, and drought tolerance. A mixture of foliage colors and textures, both evergreen and deciduous, provide year around interest to this garden. Turning ordinary spaces into delightful gardens is what Cross Creek loves to do!
