you need to know what zone you live in for planting and growing. Figure out how much sun and how much shade your garden will get and pick your plants accordingly. Do you want to grow perennials or annuals..plants or from seed, if you live where you get winter like I do you have to decide if you want to plant something that has to be lifted and re-planted every year. Check out gardens around your neighborhood for ideas..plant and seed catalogs can be a great source of inspiration. Most importantly trust that nothing has to be forever,, if you pick a flower or plant you end up hating you can always pull it out, pass it on, or move it. That's what makes it so much fun. Good luck and happy planting
