Design a Garden in California - 3 simple steps

Love Garden Answer!!!!

Glad I found this video site! If I had come across your vlog last year my garden would be all done by now and looking great. I had no problem following the first step of your suggestions - I was totally inspired. But I didn't get the "memo" on structure and uniformity. Result, there is no way the over 20 plants (1-3 of each) can be planted and survive in my narrow garden's square frame that surrounds the pool, where only one side gets the 6-8 hrs. of full sun! My choices include grasses (Mexican feather, Purple Fountain, Elijah Blue Fescue, etc.) salvia, gerber daisies, supertunias, calibrachoa, sea lavendar, hibuscus, and more. Bushes: one boxwood, lavender, and rosemary. One Tiny Tower Cypress. Whew! What a mix! As a result I have a large potted garden in the full sun on the patio!

Your advice is excellent and straightforward which should help many beginners create a beautifully designed and healthy garden. Readers: please do as he suggests!

Boxwood grows really fast in California zone 9. Boxwood will require monthly trimming. I'd do a giagram of home where intend to plant, look at soil, watering needs, and right place, right plant. Gardening is a lot of experimenting with trial and error.

Love your plant choice’s…any tips on grass? Yours looks amazing ❤
