Ever wonder what a Berm is..? It is an area which is raised to a mound with the mixture of soil on the flat ground to give a hilly view. This area was created on the SouthWest corner of our front yard. The main aim for this area is to give privacy from the pathways. Ours being a corner lot, berm also adds curb appeal.
The berm has 3 tall evergreen trees called White Fir as the main features. These trees can reach upto 100 feet in height. But, ofcourse it will take decades and decades for that. The shape of the berm is designed in such a way that there is a semicircle shape in alignment with the corner of the lot. This semicircle has an inner row of shrub roses called "Nearly wild" rose. These bushes will have tons and tons of blooms all throughout summer. In front of the roses is a semicircular row of perennials called "Zagreb coreopsis". The coreopsis adds softness due to its light and airy foliage which has continuous bright yellow blooms in summer.
This year the plants are just settling in their places, so did not expect to provide the seasonal interest.
