I hate my front yard. I want to re-do it, but I'm not sure what to put in. I want something interesting, colour, different heights, needs to be good in full-sun and without huge amounts of attention (I can spare a little time, but not hours a week).

My idea is to include a few edible things, but I don't want it to look like a veggie or herb patch. I'm thinking maybe some herbs as ground covers? Does anyone have any other ideas on how to incorporate edible plants in the front yard? Our back yard is tiny (and established in a way I actually like) so there is not much space for them out there.

Also, if you have ideas for other plants for a front yard please let me know. If it helps, I'm in Adelaide.
