We’re not just talking about a single hanging basket. Think living walls, tiered planters that add dimension, and elegant trelluses against a wall. This strategy draws the eye upward, creating an illusion of space and a lushness you never thought possible in a compact area. [Music] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] Yeah. [Music] Forget that single, boring row of shrubs. Modern foundation planting is all about creating deep, beautiful layers.

[Music] [Laughter] [Music] [Music] [Music] Oh, [Music] the Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] Your walkway is the spine of your front yard design.
