As master gardeners we support learning in the community and do not do garden design. Below is a link to information about landscaping design. The plants listed will do well in full sun. Many will get large. She will want to allow space between the new plants that supports their full grown size. This will allow appropriate airflow between plants and reduce opportunities for disease.
