Great ideas! Thankyou. I just showed her an example from a ugly photo I pulled from the internet with some plants added. I used black gravel and paving stones and annuals. It is late this year to be planting any perennials now. She is also renting and likes this idea. She is sending photos now of her new place so I will see what I can come up with. Pretend the E.E.'s in after photo are black. Black ornamental peppers, mondo grass, and some annuals that are pink in an easy treated 4x4's box that can be moved when they relocate.
