Gardening Tip Review: Starting a Garden from Scratch

Gardening Tip Review on one of our favourite websites.

We've been in our house for a while, but with everything else we needed
to get done, the garden was last on the list.

This year, I want a garden...front and back!

But, we don't have much of a yard. The front is great and will allow for
some creative ideas, but the back yard is all house and garage with just
a tiny section for flowers.

One other challenge we face in the back yard is the southern exposure
which will require us to find plants and flowers that can stand up to the
major heat.

So I decided to head over to the BHG website for some new and fresh
ideas. I could spend hours watching their videos and slideshows alone,
but I was on a mission and needed to stick to my plan...creating a garden
that will work for this house.

You'll find tons of great stuff like:

What's new for 2006,
Colour combinations,
Free landscaping plans,
Creative garden design plans,
and Plan-a-garden online software

They have everything you'll need to plan, maintain and grow.

(You can download the plans in pdf format so it's easy to print out
and take with you to your local garden center. )

I'm heading over there now to plan out my new garden...
