 Native summer plants are great curb appeal! If you are looking to boost your curb appeal this season consider planting items that thrive in our region during the summer months. A variety of vibrant greenery and blooming plants are known to thrive even in the oppressive summer sun of West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle. According to the National Gardening Association, those residing in the Eastern Panhandle can choose from: the really large, cup-shaped blooms of the Oriental Poppy to the super easy to care for Hosta that boasts a long life span.

The Experts’ Take

Besides the array of native garden gems available in the Eastern Pahandle, there are plenty of other lawn decor projects to try! Why not consider adding a retaining wall to prevent soil erosion? Create a serene water garden.For smaller but impactful upgrades add colorful mulch to your flower beds or around small trees. River stones can lend texture and charm to your landscape. To invite enchanting, winged visitors place a pretty birdbath or a bird feeder. Don’t forget the power of a pathway made of pavers! Accompany your walkway with pottery and garden decor to elevate your home’s exterior allure.
