Dear Marilyn:
You didn't say, in your original message, that your front gravel garden
is in shade. But one assumes that, since this list is called
ShadeGardens,
you have no sun. Most scree situations are in sun, so perhaps we ought
to clear up the sun/shade question first.
As for "what is a scree garden?", please look at:

and here are postings from the Alpine-L emailinglist from rock gardeners
who are writing about their scree beds:

If your front garden is sunny, I think the gravel would permit a
beautiful scree garden.
But if your front garden is in shade, a scree is not for you.
Good luck,
Harry
