Very interesting to consider how landscaping can be used for home security. I've never considered using prickly plants to deter burglars, but it makes a lot of sense. And it's a great idea to think about fire safety.
I like the idea of using low-voltage outdoor lighting to accentuate the beauty of the landscaping and make it harder for intruders to enter unnoticed. Thanks for sharing all those helpful tips and suggestions for growing plants!
