Hello everyone! I have just moved from Washington state (8a-9b, a cool, moist climate) to west Tennessee (7a much warmer). My yard is small and is almost a total โ€œblank slateโ€. Our โ€œcourtyard in Washington was our โ€œhappy placeโ€ (see pics) and we hope to turn our yard of grass into another lovely garden area. I know I will have questions to ask as we begin, but thought I would show you what we did in WA. I had my flowers in pots, but then my husband made a wooden โ€œcontainerโ€ for me.

Pretty Foliage Plants That Look โ€œDesignedโ€ (Even in January)
January can feel a littleโ€ฆ beige. The garden beds are sleeping, the patio pots are quiet, and even the sun seems to clock out early. But hereโ€™s the good news: ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ฅ๐ข๐š๐ ๐ž ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ ๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฐ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐ž๐ซ ๐ฌ๐ก๐จ๐ฐ-๐จ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐ฌ. They donโ€™t need blooms to look stunning. In fact, the right leaves can make your home (or plant nook!) look like you hired a designer. Below are some โ€œ๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ง๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฒ๐ฅ๐žโ€ foliage plants that look polished even on your most tired winter day.
