James enjoys these large, dramatic features, but he gets more excited by little landscape features that translate into big changes. For example, he has trained Boston ivy to grow on a boring downspout (figure D), and he hung a fern on another downspout (figure E). To perk up a bare wall, he added several hanging ferns and a piece of yard art. James says you don't have to spend a lot of money to enhance the look of your landscape if you focus on the small things.
