In southeast Slave Lake, Chris and Krista Rockwell have sculpted their front yard with a variety of angles, heights, and colours. Beside the driveway is a flowerbed with a wavy outline edges with rocks. There’s a cluster of perennials by the fence. There are plants under the bay window, in planters up the steps, and a large bush in the middle of the lawn.

Chris and Krista Rockwell have been married for a while, but these bachelor buttons are a reminder of their wedding. They were first seeded with seeds that the couple had in their wedding favours. There’s also a ceramic bird hidden in the bachelor buttons and a metal bird and bird bath statue behind.

Rocks create a flowing border for this front flowerbed beside the driveway. It has a combination of plants in the ground (separated by wood mulch) and planters.
