1. Clean & Shape It Up
Clear dead leaves, prune shrubs, edge beds—clean lines = instant upgrade.
Pressure wash paths or steps if needed—fresh and tidy goes a long way.
2. Color Pop = Instant Charm
Use bold, welcoming combos like:
Coral + yellow + white (cheerful & fresh)
Lavender + silver + deep green (calm & elegant)
Red + gold + green (feng shui prosperity—fire, earth, and wood balance)
Repetition of color draws the eye and feels intentional.
3. Feng Shui Garden Touches
Use curves over sharp angles—create soft flow.
Add a small water feature near the entrance (symbolizes abundance).
Pair plants in twos for balance and harmony.
Keep the front door area open and inviting—this is where energy (and opportunities!) enter.
4. What to Plant Now (PNW Spring Picks)
Colorful annuals: pansies, violas, snapdragons, primroses, calendula
Hardy perennials: lavender, salvia, coreopsis, echinacea
Grasses & structure: blue fescue, boxwood, dwarf nandina (great for year-round interest)
Containers: Mix thrillers (tulips, daffodils), fillers (alyssum, lobelia), and spillers (creeping Jenny, sweet potato vine)
5. Bonus Tip:
Add solar path lights or a fresh door mat—small, high-impact upgrades that instantly boost your entry’s charm and vibe.
