This is my first time ever joining a site like this!! I have been wanting to landscape my back yard though I have not jumped in to it yet. I also run a community center in a low income neighborhood. Here's my NEED FOR HELP!! I have 3 big questions. The center will have our 1 year anniversary and due to a 0 budget for "beauty" I am buying flowers for planters. WHAT type of flowers and soil should I buy??? We live in the southeast where it is VERY HOT and HUMID!! Also, I was given a I think it is a "fur plant" looks like a mini Christmas tree, HOW DO I CARE FOR IT?? I will wait until next time to ask for help for my own yard!!! THANKS everyone!!!
