Abstract
How to Create a Garden with Curb Appeal in the Southwest, Part 1: Form, Flow, and Function, I discussed the importance of form, flow, and function in designing a front yard for maximum curb appeal. In this article, I’d like to go a little deeper in focusing on how planting design affects the function of the front yard. An entryway’s main function is to guide visitors toward the front door, front gate, or front driveway. The planting design should help. In this picture, almost nothing has been done to enhance curb appeal. A simple planting design is to help to do this. The garden bed is dividing two driveways with plants that require little to no irrigation.
