You can easily find information about planting annuals, perennials, herbs or vegetables. A local garden centre is a great place to get information, ideas and help as you work on your garden. Friends and relatives with gardening experience are also great help. Read gardening books and magazines to get inspiration for the design of your garden. Also, you can take a look at gardening TV shows which will not only give you ideas and inspiration but they can give you tips and information about how to grow a beautiful, healthy and green garden. See what works for your neighbours (and what doesn't) and then make decisions about the types of plants to grow that you know can be successful in the soil and climate you have.

You need to plan your budget before you begin any new gardening project. Set a realistic budget before you decide on the type of gardening project you want to start. In order to be successful with your budget you need to stick to it. In order to stay on budget you might have to shop for deals. Look for sales and weekly flyers at your local garden centre in order to find deals. Don't let the cost impact the health and quality of plants that you buy. Make sure that the plants you get, whether on sale or not, are healthy. You may need to replace unhealthy plants which will cost money in the long run for you to replace. Or, even worse an unhealthy plant can compromise the health of your entire garden if it spreads a disease to your other plants. It is critical that you purchase healthy plants while remaining on budget. Check my core aerations website.
