Today we are going to look at 2 different designs for beds in the front of the house. Both will be east facing and will get a combination of morning sun, some afternoon sun, and yup some shade. Enjoy!!

  • Thank you Michelle! This was such fun, seeing your designs! I love your choices of plants in both. I am looking forward to seeing more designs in the future. Have a blessed week! ❤

    I really enjoyed this. The only thing that would make it better would be actual photos of the finished projects.

    Love both of those beds. Love all your ideas. You’re so inspiring. Thank you, Michelle.
  • Both pocket gardens are beautiful, though I especially like the first one…maybe because it seemed to have be more deer resistant options. I would love to hear ideas for similar pockets. My own challenging pocket is on the northwest corner of the house.

    Just found your channel and can't wait to see more!!!
  • So much great information! I’m doing research to redo our driveway bed this fall. Love that you note what is deer resistant. There’s pockets of woods throughout our neighborhood and a hundred acres wood across the street. Deer is a primary consideration in my choices. Thank you! 🌱

    Oh Michelle you did and outstanding job on those flower beds. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.. So until next time God Bless you and have a Blessed day and stay safe my dear and Special Friend. ❤❤❤
  • Both pockets looks beautiful. Thanks. I wish you had a magic bullet for weeds besides the three you mentioned. I see some gardeners plant numerous plants in their beds and so weeds can't grow, they say. I don't think that's my answer cause I'm pulling out weeds from the middle of some plants. I didn't count, but I bet I've pulled many thousands of weeds this spring. Love your videos.

    You did it again, Michelle. This is so helpful. I have a very similar "pocket" garden and I've been trying to figure out what to do. Thanks
  • Thank you!! A lot of people show their beautiful spaces but don't share their reasoning or maintenance details--very helpful!!
  • @zjah888
    You are just awesome. Thank you so much, Michelle!🥰
  • @hollyleach2056
    This is great! I could watch these types of videos all day!!❤❤ thank you
  • Thank you so much for this video. I have a very similar flower bed that faces Northeast in my zone 5 garden. For 4 years I have had such a hard time figuring out what to put here, and now my wheels are turning. Fortunately I have some good bones with evergreens and a couple of trees. Now to get started on everything else!
  • Your channel is EXACTLY what I've been looking for! I need garden bed inspiration and have spent this entire week trying to figure out what I can do in my front beds and studying each plant and shrub, and trying to decide what I'm going to use! The type of beds you're sharing are pretty close to exactly what I am trying to learn! New subscriber immediately! You are also just a joy to watch and listen to!
