The footage of the beds has not yet been determined, but I would say at the very least 4′ on all sides.
Types of plants I’m interested in: mostly hardy plants, perennials, colorful, flowering in different seasons.
Any good planting resources you can refer me to would be great as well.

Next year we’ll be focusing on the outside of our house, and I’d like to get some great perennials to go along with a variety of annuals that I can change from year to year.
So what plants make a good foundation?
