Before and after pictures of our yard.

So the picture with the empty yard, but for half a dozen hostas and some very tired mulch, is the "before." The ones with tidy brick border, the fresh mulch, and the *plants* - those are the "after." When we moved in almost exactly two years ago the front garden was basically bare. We added shrubs the first fall, some perennials last summer, did a ton of transplanting last fall, and spent this spring and summer adding more perennials.
