The flowerbeds in front of my house could use some work.

I’d like to replace what I’ve got with some colorful plants, but I’m not sure what to pick that’s appropriate for the environment or even what sort of design guidelines to follow that will lead to a handsome result. Would anyone care to offer some suggestions? This side of the house gets plenty of sun and faces South. The location is in Essex County, New Jersey.

    Place moss in the bed then get garden boxes & plant local wildflowers or veggies in the box to sit on top of the moss.

    Moss needs like ,no work, & local wildflowers are amazing for the pollinators. You’ll be the talk of the town.
