Most gardens start blooming in the imagination. Long before a trowel touches soil, many people like to plant new ideas on paper first. You don't have to be an artist to try a garden sketch. Just follow a few simple steps. It'll be fun.

THINGS TO CONSIDER:
- How large is your space? Is it sunny or shady?
- What growing zone do you live in?
- What style: private retreat or curb appeal?
- How do you like to spend time in or use your garden?
- Do you know what type of soil you have?
