Monrovia releases final video in Front Yard Makeover series
Monrovia has released the latest in a three-part YouTube series called “Front Yard Makeover.” The videos bring viewers along on a home landscaping project creating a pollinator-friendly, low-maintenance oasis that also boosts curb-appeal.
In this series, Georgia Clay, Monrovia’s plant selections manager, offers a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to take on a front yard makeover project, completing a real-life renovation at her home.
The most recent video, “Fall Review,” takes viewers on a tour of the completed garden and offers advice for fall garden maintenance. Previous videos in the series include “Before,” which takes viewers through the first stage of a front yard makeover, showing Georgia and designer Lisa Nunamaker of Paper Garden Workshop meeting to review three garden design options. The second video, “Planting Day,” gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look on how a design plan comes to life.
“Through our extensive consumer research, we’ve seen an increase in homeowners looking to create a more natural landscape,” said Katie Tamony, CMO and trendspotter at Monrovia. “We wanted to showcase a modern take on this natural garden style, which can include natives as well as climate appropriate cultivars – plants that are better behaved and easier to care for. By choosing the right plants it’s possible to create a beautiful, free flowing and relaxing space that draws in birds and bees, as well as friends and family.”
Modern Meadow gardens are a full sensory experience, with color, movement and a connection to nature. The palette includes flowy grasses such as fountain grass ‘Karley Rose’, perennials like agastache ‘Pink Pearl’ and edibles such as strawberry ‘Eversweet’.
