Default Newbie to gardening, Help !

Hi Dan,

Where do you live? (Ahh the irony, I always forget to state where I
live when I post). I would start by finding information specific to
your area, to find out what plants will grow well in your climate. You
can find information from a local agricultural service, or find local
master gardeners who can recommend plants to try.

Hello All-
I'm interested in creating an English Garden for my wife and would
appreciate any pointers from you guys on how to do so. I'm pretty new to
the whole gardening thing.

The area that we want to put the garden is between the side of our house and
our walkway to the side door.

We currently have Rhodedendrons (sp?), Azeleas, a Holly Bush and some other
bushes. We're looking to add a lot of color and incorporate flowers that
bloom every year (perrenials?).

Can you guys point me in the right direction? Are there any websites that
you can recommend?

Thanks in advance.
Dan
