How should I plan my garden?

First thing in planning a garden

The first thing in planning your garden is to make a rough sketch that shows existing trees, shrubs, and large features. Study your site—how much sun it gets and when; soil conditions – sand or clay, moist or dry; prevailing winds. Match plants to the soil and light conditions of your property, not vice-versa.
