Post #6228226

We recently took over a house that needs a bit of landscape help. I would like to plant something in the cement retaining wall along the sidewalk (which gets high traffic). Since not all of the public is as considerate as my fellow gardeners I was hoping for advice as to what plants would workout best. I am hoping for something that is mid - low maintenance, hardy to occasional abuse, and fairly attractive. Help!!:) Here are some photos (yes it all looks like a mess but we are cleaning it up one month at a time).
