An empty Canvas.....

I am a beginner gardener and my garden has no flowers or shrubs in at all. Is there a good guide to what I can plant, how much it costs and what conditions suit it? Is the best garden one where you plant different plants etc so that something is flowering all year round? Would a BnQ have an advisor (or perhaps better a proper garden centre if I could find one?) that would be able to plan what to plant and when? I'm assuming now(ish) coming out of winter is a good time to plant stuff? I would get out and walk your neighbourhood looking at other peoples gardens to see what is growing well, also your local parks, where you can see trees and shrubs in a more mature state. Your local library is a good place to brows gardening books to get ideas for design and plants, and when you come across a book you don't want to hand back then is the time to buy it. After this preperation then visit one or two of your local Nurseries, you will generaly get better help and advise than at B&Q or many garden centres. David Hill Abacus Nurseries |
