Nothing sets off your lawn / garden area more than the sight of a beautiful flower garden and some special flowering shrubs. As with your choice of flowers, plant flowering shrubs that are proven to do well in your area.

Yard chairs and a patio umbrella can make a nice place to read a good book on gardening and nature. Make sure there is ample place to lie back and enjoy the beauty of your landscaping. Invest in a hammock or a covered swing.
