Lehigh Valley Gardening

One of the great things about living in the Lehigh Valley area and rural PA is the change of seasons. But with that comes challenges in landscaping. Lehigh Valley Gardening was a recent topic Faith Brenneisen addressed in an interview with The Morning Call discussing what plants and landscaping options to consider regarding home value and curb appeal.

In the article, Faith stated, "People like continuous-blooming hydrangeas and knockout roses, which are hardy, low-growing and deliver profuse, continuous blossoms. New azaleas bloom twice a year, and they're great, but even the once-a-year types are very popular,"

Faith also stated that, "as with any home improvements, landscape upgrades should be consistent with neighborhood values. And the gardening requirements shouldn't become too demanding." Buyers like pretty, well maintained yards, but they also don't want to be burdened by it.
