Lynn, we don't have much of a backyard. There's a waterway behind the house and the back porch and deck are right next to the water. There's a strip of land about 5' from the deck to the water's edge and I do have a small flower bed that backs up to the deck. We just put that flower bed in last summer and used cement edging as the border stacked two high but cement blocks would make it nicer, giving it more height. Maybe some day I will change out that edging and put in a cement block border 2 or 3 high, paint them a neutral color and then plant some cascading plants in each opening!
