Have you always wanted to have a beautiful garden where you could spend wonderful moments with the people you love?

Have you ever gone to the garden center of a big box home improvement store and seen some great looking flowers, plants or trees and thought they would look great in your yard, but you didn't know where to start?

It's not difficult to grow great plants if you keep a few things in mind and avoid some common planting mistakes.

In this book, let's go through the dos and don'ts of planting.

You don't want to buy a fantastic plant and get it home and find out that it doesn't fit in your yard. Or worse yet, you decide to plant it anyway and then you have a huge plant that's taken over your yard.

Just take a look a few other things you will discover inside:

• How to design your garden
• Dozens of ideas and practical information that you can use for your garden
• Fruit and vegetable trees that you can plant and enjoy with your family
• Lists of tools and materials for your project
• Hardscape
• How to maintain your garden landscape
• And much more

Once you've figured out where you want to plant, you can look at which plants are good choices to plant in the area. The most important thing to always remember when planting above all else, is to plant 'the right plant in the right place'. Planting the wrong plant in the wrong place will come back to haunt you every time.

Spend a lot of time in nurseries discovering the various kinds of plants and trees that will grow successfully in your area.

Get your soil tested even buying a test kit. Check the pH of your soil and what your plants need.

Designing the exterior of your home increases its value, but you don't necessarily have to be a gardening professional or an architect because this book will guide you step by step in all your projects.
