You need to decide where you want plants and what kind you want. Do you want a vegetable garden, a flower garden or to landscape your home? Do the kind of plants you want grow in sun or shade? What kind of soil do you have and what do you have to do to prepare for planting? Do you want certain colors in this garden and what are they? You need to know what kind of care the plants need, and if you want flowers, when they bloom.
