At present my front garden is bare, how could i design it, with a hyper Boxer pup in mind. ie what is best to plant and when. Please explain latin names for plants. thank you.

My garden is doggy proof (save for dog)
First step : Fence
Second : avoid any poisonous plants/ fruits /grapes ( some Palm tree have poisonous grapes - Also no coconuts palm trees) / flowers...For example Lantanas are good because they will keep iguanas from eating your other plants but they poisonous for kids and dogs...
Third : No bushes with spines

If you are scared that your dog will destroy your yard : Take a trainer... It is a dog How can he know ?

Growing food in your front garden - a seriously good option. Could food growing really take off in Harehills and Chapeltown? Could it really ...

at the moment i am having a extension built and the front garden has been hard cored the size is 40ft x50ft and there is 2 dropped kerbs ready for a in and out i am worried that if i have it all paved it will look like a car park

Leave space for a shrub or two with staggering winter fragrance and watch passersby stop and sniff the air. Wintersweet (Chimonanthus) is the best, but most Viburnums are good too. Or jsut plant a Katsura Tree (Cercidiphyllum) and enjoy the smell of candyfloss drifitng off on autmn mornings.

I have a large space - 26' - along the front of my house. I think I'm going to make the bed about 3 or 4' in width. What's the best way to lay out my garden? Should it be symmetrical or just bunched and more free (like a cottage garden)? I'm thinking of using Delphinium, Echinacea, Daylilies, Oriental Lilies, small shrub roses (2'x3') and then some small ornamental grasses and 2-4" border flowers in the front. I think I'm also going to put a weeping redbud on the left side. Do you have any ideas for how I should do this... I'm at a loss!!!

Whether you design a formal garden (symmetrical) or informal garden (cottage style) is up to you. However, here are a few thing to consider. Mass together perennials of the same type in groups of three or five. Try to have more than one group of each species through the bed. This will help avoid the "one of everything" look. As a general rule, taller perennials (as well as the ornamental grasses) work well towards the back. When they're not in bloom they'll serve as a backdrop for the small plants. Try to plan the perennial bed so that there is something in bloom in a few different areas of the garden from spring to fall.

Good luck and have fun.

i would like to make a beautiful garden in my front yard to distract from the oldness of the house i am renting. its not the prettiest house, but i think a beautiful garden would help make it look a lot prettier. the only problem is where i want to put it the sun only hits it in the late afternoon. what would my best options be for flowers and design. i wanted it to be a butterfly garden, but there is not enough sunlight.
i live in marlow, oklahoma if that helps ne.

You could try some plants that say partial shade. Depending on where you live, the garden centers are coming alive this time of year, but you may not have a great selection yet. One bush that grows well in partial shade is a hydrangea. It will take a few years to really grow and needs a lot of water, but the huge blooms of flowers look like snowballs. They come in several colors, which can be changed by adding things to the soil. You might be better off with pots and annuals like impatients or new guniea impatients (also need a lot of water). That way you could take them with you when you move. Go to the local garden center in a few weeks and see what is available. Good luck!!
