[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First measure your yard. [b]Second, note which areas are full sun, partial, or shade[/b]. Third, test your soil. Google "Master Gardner" and/or "native plant" society for where you live. They often give free lectures on different aspects gardening. There are also plant clinics for advice and fact sheets.[/quote] Make sure you do this for all seasons, not just now. Also, think about plants that will create interest for the full year so you won't have a desolate yard from November to march. I snap pictures on my phone when I see a plant I like in someone's yard and show it to a garden center worker to see what it is and if it will work in my yard. I do this all years. Start looking at people's yards and examine how the lay things out, organize plants/bushes, specific plants that interest you. [/quote]
