The point is to choose plants that will work well in the available conditions without giving in to the trite and true. As much as many of our local retailers would like to make us believe that there are no alternatives, thee is a world of exciting plant material out there which will work in both front and back yards, that does not demand a huge amount of care and that will create a pleasing picture for passers-by while at the same time satisfying our own creative urges.
Being different doesn't mean outraging the neighbors. Give it a bit of thought, and it might prove both educational and exciting. Maybe even inspirational. Do it right and your neighbors may try new things too - and then the nurseries will stock more exciting things in response - and we'll all be better off.
