Ivy and Boxwood

I fell in love with this backyard, which is in my hometown, and the house happens to be for sale.  It's a few blocks from the house in which I grew up and this is the perfect yard.  It's not cluttered, it's private, classic, and I could sit and lounge here for hours.  It's ivy and boxwood, a perfect combination that is easy to maintain and works in many climates.  Boxwood work well in sun and shade too and they can withstand drought well.
