Write down everything you’d like to have in your garden. Engage all of the senses. What colors do you like? What kind of mood would you like to create? What will you be using the space for? You may need separate areas for relaxation, entertaining, growing vegetables and herbs, as well as a space for the kids to play or for the dog to run. How about a quiet shady corner to read a book?
