[quote=Anonymous]Consider planning and establishing a garden as a work in progress. You can do a lot of shrubs and plants that once planted don't need too much maintenance. You can add evergreens in-between for year-round green. Plants like hollies can be added for winter interest with their red berries; added bonus they provide food for birds through the winter months. On that note, do not plant heavenly bamboo. Their berries look lovely in the winter but are poisonous to birds and will kill them. When these plants first became popular, birds started dropping dead. It took a while to figure out it was heavenly bamboo berries which were killing them. Don't plant any shrub closer than 3 feet from your foundation. Root systems can mess with your foundation.[/quote]
