Before you start planting, it’s a must that you assess your physical gardening space to determine what plants are best suited to your specific area and how it can be incorporated into your overall landscape design. Some questions you’ll want to consider include:
- How large or small will your garden beds be?
- Does your garden have access to full sun, or is it partially shady?
- Can you incorporate companion planting of flowers and vegetables to encourage optimal growth?
- Are there additional features you want to include in your garden to create interesting focal points, such as a trellis or a water feature?
You can use a garden planner app or even a simple pen and paper to capture these plans so you can easily refer to them once planting is underway.
