In my opinion, the best part about spring is creating gorgeous curb appeal that will last all summer. I love the flowers, the greenery, and making my own little garden oasis. This year I won't be able to do that since our home isn't finished, but I'm already brainstorming ideas for next year!

Enjoy these front yard landscaping and floral ideas that will hopefully help to inspire your own curb appeal and love for gardening.

If grass isn't your thing, this is a really fun way to change the look of your front yard from traditional sod. Putting in only shrubs and flowers is a really awesome change, although, probably more work! Source.

This is a beautiful one too with the brightly colored flowers. The boxwood hedge create a great barrier for the flowers to grow up against. Source unknown.

Don't be afraid to go big and bold with your choices, especially with flowers like these ever popular hydrangeas. These are some of my favorite flowers!

They are so vibrant and come in a variety of colors. They also bloom all summer giving so much color. Source.

And don't be afraid to "pack" it in. A cottage style floral bed like this one tends to create a more cozy and relaxed atmosphere compared to straight lines and minimal planting beds. Source here.

Green Landscaping Ideas

Another fun way to change up your front yard landscaping is by adding in window boxes, just like this really cute one from The Lily Pad Cottage. See more here. There are even some really great faux plants, that look real. So, you don't have to water them either!

There are so many different styles and ways to use a trellis, just like this one. If you have limited garden space, these are a great way to still get beautiful florals or plants by growing up instead of out. A trellis is great for bringing a cottage vibe to your landscaping. And not to mention, they can just look really cool. Source.
