[quote=Anonymous]My advice: Start small. You can easily expand but it’s best not to do too much too soon before you understand gardening and the level of upkeep (and money) you are willing to commit. Pay attention to sun/shade and water needs. Also be mindful of spacing. Lack of circulation opens plants up to disease. Plant what you see thriving in your neighborhood. Leave space for annuals. Your perennials will not always be in bloom and will not look fabulous in every season. Make space for annuals that you can pop in for each season. Don’t over mulch. Piling mulch up against shrubs will kill him. Don’t be heavy handed and please don’t create mulch volcanoes around your trees. Covering the bark is bad and trees will die if roots are smothered.
