Now that you have an idea on what do you want to do with your garden, it’s time for a reality check! Take an objective look at the available space for your future flower garden. Think about the position of the area regarding the sun exposure or if there are any shadows that might affect the development of your flowers.

Step 5: Flower selection

For many of you, this is the easy part, especially if you know what you like, selecting the flower and plant species should be the last step of your project, after careful thinking. Use our following tips and try to organize yourself:
