How To PLAN YouR OWN FOUNDATION PLANTING: The planting at the front of the house should be kept simple in color and line with 
not more than two or three different textures and forms. It should be used to frame the house and to unite it with the rest of the 
garden. In planning your foundation group, choose one or two high points. For example; accent the doorway with tall, narrow 
evergreens such as Irish Juniper or Silver Juniper; and balance these by shrubby masses at the corners. The planting should point 
outward from the corner like an arrow—then extend to the wall. Note where you must keep your planting low to get light to base- 
ment windows. (Evergreens may frame the view from the house windows but never hide it.) Then work between the high and low 
places. Use some low plants back of the front edge to get variety of mass. Don't let your plantings consist of a line of jigsaw peaks— 
‘keep them in a softened line that gradually meets the lawn. At least once on every building face, let the foundation show through 
to retain the feeling of solidity. Pull the foundation planting in to the wall, and let the lawn meet the building. To protect young 
evergreens from dogs use Dogzoff or U-Turn-Stakes on Page 59. Be sure to read ‘’Facts about Wards Evergreens’’ on Page 19.
