What do you have at the front of your house

[whoknewthat]

The front of my house is very bare.

I have one small black granite planter by the front door (35cm x 35cm) which is currently empty.

I have a very white double fronted house with the front door on the end (an extension to the double frontedness iyswim).

So what do you have? How many?

Am thinking bay/olive tree but they seem to be very expensive.

Will a colourful more 'container' arrangement look out of scale?

Mine is a cottage style garden with lots of perennials and self seeding plants. You could get an apple or pear tree (espalier or standard) or train a rose or fig over a trellis if you're south facing. I am a fan of strawberry plants in hanging baskets, they're a lovely reachable going-out snack.
