Although the plants are supposed to go in soon, the planning is continuing on.
This whole thing is more complicated than I originally imagined.

What might look good might not be the best plants to put in.

Because I'm adding potted plants in the front courtyard, that is all my decision and work. I'd like to use something different than the flowers I put on the deck every year, but toxic or nontoxic is a big deal. Ditto on the ground planted bushes and perennials that is the landscapers work. I keep frustrating him with my requirements to keep varieties that will be safe for my dogs. I'm triple checking his suggestions. Some plants that would look really good are now being removed from the paper plans.
