No plan = disjointed garden design. Here’s how to do it right! Before you buy more plants, put your garden dimensions on graph paper. Make a scale for the garden—1’x1’ or 2’x2’ squares.

Then, draw a circle for each plants MATURE size, beginning with trees and shrubs, then perennials. Cluster plants in odd numbers (unless it’s a large shrub or tree). Then, write your plant list
