How Will Your Garden Grow?
Your garden next door can be used for a variety of purposes. One of the first steps in creating your garden is to think about what you want to do in it. Thinking about how you want to use your garden can be helpful in picking out materials, or specific plantings and trees. For example, if you would like to use your garden for relaxing, you may want to plan for building shading devices or planting trees for relief from the sun. On the other hand, if you want to grow vegetables in your garden you will want to avoid shade over your planting beds. How you use your garden will help you decide how to design and build your garden.
