Template Implementation Tips

  • Before starting, assess your site conditions including sun exposure, soil type, drainage, and existing features.
  • Don't be afraid to modify the template to better suit your specific space and preferences.
  • Consider the mature size of plants when planning, not just their size when planted.
  • Start with the hardscape elements like paths and structures before adding plants.
  • Group plants with similar water and sunlight needs together for easier maintenance.
  • Include paths wide enough for comfortable access and maintenance equipment.
  • Plan for irrigation systems before planting to ensure proper water coverage.
  • Consider adding seating areas to enjoy your garden and observe plant growth.
  • Keep a garden journal to note what works well and what you might change next season.
  • Remember that gardens evolve over time - your template is a starting point, not a rigid blueprint.
