Determine the type of garden you want to grow and choose the location for it that receives adequate sunlight, has good drainage, and is easily accessible for watering and maintenance.

Test your soil to see how to make improvements and prepare the soil for planting. 

Select plants that are suitable for your climate, soil type, and  available sunlight. For beginners, it’s best to start with hardy and  easy-to-grow plants that require less maintenance.

Follow the planting instructions on the seed packet or plant tag.

Water and weed regularly.
