After 20 years of professionally designing and maintaining gardens, I have some things to share with you about planning a garden.  Believe me, I’ve made my share of mistakes and have learned so much from trial and error.  Isn’t that the best way after all?   
Even if you hire someone to do it for you, it’s good to think about these things before the initial meeting.

Gardens are our outdoor living rooms so like any addition or remodel you’re planning, it’s muy bueno to put some thought into it. 

Since we filmed the video about a month ago, 7 things have actually turned into 8 things.  I didn’t originally include the 8th because I thought it was so obvious but in hindsight, added a short clip in just a few days ago.  This mystery #8 is: How much do you want to spend?  Like anything project you have going on, this determines the outcome.  What’s that they say about caviar taste on a beans and frank budget?! 

The 7 are:  Use, Exposure, Soil, Break it Down, Address Problems 1st, Maintenance, & Plant Choice.  

I go into much more detail in the post too: http://www.joyusgarden.com/7-things-to-think-about-when-planning-a-garden/
