5. Coastal-Inspired Mailbox Garden
If you live near the coast or want to bring a breezy seaside vibe to your home, design a flower bed that captures the spirit of the ocean.
Use grasses, succulents, and salt-tolerant plants that can withstand sun, wind, and sandy soil. Great options include sea lavender, blue fescue, sedum, and Russian sage. Add pops of white or blue flowers such as shasta daisies or agapanthus for a nautical palette.
To complete the look, edge your flower bed with driftwood, seashells, or crushed oyster shells. A pale gravel groundcover mimics the look of a beach path and prevents weeds.
