Attached is a picture of our front berm. The area is roughly 300sqft. We are still in the process of renovating the cottage, so I'm not splurging on the garden yet. I already have most of the plants I need. Some work will start THIS WEEKEND.

That fence will be replaced EVENTUALLY. On the top part near the fence, I will plant a GREAT GUNNERA (spring delivery).

The edges will be planted with hostas (big daddy) and Philodendrons (selloum). I'm growing the hostas right now in pots and the philondendrons, too.

A very LEAFY front berm I'd say. Most of the area will be covered with landscape fabric to keep off the weeds and grass. Then will be covered with bark.

There will be a STONE PATH leading to the great gunnera for a little "stop" to VIEW the bay.
