Gardening: Perfect landscapes that don't cost a fortune

YOU can create a perfect front yard and backyard for your home on your own without having to spend too much money.

Go with perennials, bulbs, roses, trees, shrubs or large flowering trees. Add old sculptures, water features, lighting, a pathway and swing, if you like, to create a perfect landscape.

Choose the right flowering bulbs or those that are easily available like amaryllis, caladium, camassia,corydalis, crocus, daffodil, dahlia and lily. Bulbs work beautifully in flower beds or containers, and can be used to accent other plants or make a stunning statement when grouped together.

Perennials are long-lasting and will transform the garden all year around. Go for blanket flower (gaillardia), which is a drought- and heat-tolerant perennial wildflower, echinacea,rudbeckia, dianthus, coreopsis, buddleia, hydrangea or phloxpaniculata just to name a few.

You can either grow them in rows along the walkway or flower beds. Some ideas for your garden:
