One of my co-workers have this backyard that has tons of potential and needs some gardening help. I have the guts to tackle it with them, from the look of the picture, it is a small shady backyard, but no imagination and don't know a lot of plants. I don't know what the deal is with the grass in front of the tree, but behind the tree ivy has grown over a brick "wall." He has grape vines growing in front of and on the fence that are inundated with weeds, and to the far back-left is a wild blackberry vine. There's a box turtle who lives in their backyard also.
