This is a cute house, but it needed a little sprucing up to show it's best and attract a buyer. I didn't have much money, but I had a vision.
I went plant shopping and got a great deal on a few plants at Portland Nursery. I walked out with 3 plants for $11! I picked up a few pansies in bloom at Lowe's and I was on my way.
Since I love gardening, I have a plethera of plants potted up that need homes. I brought a Rainbow Yucca flaccida, or Bright Edge Yucca,, two Kniphofia, or Red Hot Pokers, and two cpurple Heuchera, or Coral Bells. They are small now, but they'll be gorgeous when they grow up. I picked up a couple of bage of soil and a bag of mulch and headed for my clients' house.
We picked the location and size of the new garden plot and the homeowners started digging out the sod. One good thing about doing garden projects in the winter in Oregon is the ground is saturated and easy to work. An hour later, we had the plants dug in and the topdressing of mulch in place.
An extra bonus is all of the plants I picked are drought tolerant and hardy in Oregon, so they should look great for years to come!
The new picture looks a lot more appealing when you browse through images of homes in the RMLS and WVMLS. A great investment for minimal up front costs and an hour of work!
