Before & After: A Small Seattle Garden Grows to New Heights

A small Seattle garden with patchy soil and sparse greenery. A wooden fence stands on the right, while a brick wall frames the left. A "Before" label is placed on the bottom left corner, setting the stage for a stunning before-and-after transformation to new heights.
The before of this Seattle front garden. It has a decent fence – but is weedy and unkempt – not a place you’d want to hang out.

I found this sweet little Seattle garden a few weeks ago over on the beautiful Northwest Botanicals website while combing the internet for some front yard landscaping ideas. It’s a small corner garden that started out with some scraggly plants slung over a bed of dirt and gravel, and it has evolved into a corner that’s quite charming. Of course, I now that I found this one I want my very own version, but I don’t think that will be happening any time soon.

A small Seattle garden reaches new heights with its garden path lined by lush green and purple foliage. Diverse plants flourish on either side of the mulch path, enclosed by wooden fences. A labeled arrow in the foreground reads "After," highlighting its stunning transformation.

It’s a pretty huge improvement for such a tiny space, yeah? This photo was taken 2 years after the first one and I love how it came together! I’m really digging how the fence has taken on tone that’s a bit weathered– I think it makes for a great, subtle backdrop for a vibrant group of plants.  And since I’m always a sucker for adding height to walls or ledges with a couple pretty container plants, I’m a pretty big fan of that brick wall.
