Step 1: Know Your Landscape – Understanding Light and Soil Conditions Is your garden space a sun-soaked balcony or a shady haven beneath towering trees? Is your soil clay, loamy, acidic? Understanding your light and soil conditions is the key to choosing the right plants that will thrive.

Step 2: Plant Personalities: Finding the Perfect Match Now, for the fun part: choosing your green and flowering companions.  They’re like tiny roommates, each with unique needs and preferences. Group like minded plants together with same light and soil requirements.

Step 3: Putting It on Paper  Grab your pencils, it’s time to sketch your masterpiece! Don’t worry  about Picasso-level perfection – simple doodles or online garden  planning tools are your friends. Play with different garden layouts until you find what's right for you.

Step 4: Planting the Seeds of Success When spring  arrives, it’s time to put your plan into action. Remember the key  takeaways: match plants to your conditions, embrace diversity, and  prioritize flowering times and heights for a year-round symphony of  color.
