I've lived here 5 years and have basically been keeping the landscaping up that was here before I moved in which were some rose bushes and random bulbed plants. Im overdue for a change but im kind of lost as to where to start. I recently ordered a Downy Serviceberry tree for the front yard and would like to have perennials and go for a cottage vibe. I guess i feel the narrow garden plot in the front is just very blah and needs something to create more interest. Im in zone 6a and would greatly appreciate any and all advice.
