Setting garden goals and thoughtful planning are essential steps to creating a successful and enjoyable outdoor space.
Walk around your garden/landscape on a warm winter day and take notes on improvements, additions, and deletions want to make. Then, make a list of plants you'll need or have always wanted to grow and research their needs to ensure they’ll thrive in your conditions.
Sketch out a layout of your space that includes pathways, planting zones, and focal points to guide your design.
