When I moved into this house in 2012, there was a front yard sprinkler system and a dead lawn. Sometime after that, Tony got the system up and running and got the lawn green again. And then we had a big drought year. I don't...

Before and After--ARGH!!

GreatMartin @GreatMartin (23670) • Ft. Lauderdale, Florida 13 May 19

In the name of being 'uniform'--in other words boring--we have been stripped of all beauty on our grounds by the new owners!! All the resident's gardens are gone as are the fruit trees and 3 story white Birds of Paradise plants.

Bamboo

belindayhughes @belindayhughes (1096) • United States 17 Feb 13

Bamboo is a wonderful plant to have in your yard. It's easy to plant, quick to mature and very hardy in tropical climates. Many homeowners use bamboo as a botanical privacy fence or to hedge against the wind. I have enjoyed both...
