This was a mature garden which needed a renovation because some plants had grown too big and part of the garden was damaged by construction (see first row of photos). We also removed some plants which were not thriving and added more shade plants to the front yard.  During the process, we recovered a dwarf spruce and a willow that were hidden underneath other plants. We added some irises, delphiniums, foxgloves, coreopsis, blanket flower and butterfly milkweed. We also added some roses along the fence in order to create a continuous wall of pink and moved some hydrangea standards which had grown too big for their location. Each year we do seasonal urns at this property and often use perennials, which we can then add into the garden when they are done flowering.
