Answer 3

i might use cedar mulch on the floor, and that's presented in organic, dark, or pink colour and then i might positioned some hostas in, no longer each and every of an analogous style. area them, much less looks ideal and get the better varieties. Or ferns, those you spot interior the bush you could actual purchase too and that they might get very complete and luxurious. The cedar mulch has a terrific fragrance and the hostas do bloom. So it would look super.
