How to Design Your Dream Garden: A Beginning Groundwork Guide for Every Type of Gardener

Every season has its role to play in the garden, even Winter. January starts one of the most exciting, and perhaps daunting, gardening phases: planning. It’s the time when seed catalogs start piling up, saved images start inspiring new ideas, and backyard daydreams start taking shape. For many, though, this stage also brings a familiar feeling of not knowing where to begin. 

 

That’s why we’re starting a new blog series: How to Design Your Dream Garden. Throughout the year, we’ll explore what it really takes to design a garden that fits your space, your needs, and your hopes for the season ahead. We’ll walk through everything from planning basics and layout decisions to plant selection, structures, and creative themes.

This is the year to bring your dream garden to life.
