How to Edge a Flower Garden!

I'm always feeling like I'm learning things that everyone else already knows and this was one of those things. I was pretty excited to demystify this little gardening tid bit for myself though, so I'm sharing it with you anyway. My husband Chris, has always been the one to make our gardens look all neat and tidy. I didn't really even realize that there was a certain technique to it. I just thought he was really patient with a shovel or something.
We've been working slowly on the back yard over the last few years and we thought it might be good to map out a big flower/shrub garden across the whole back middle section of the house where the giant wheelchair ramp used to be before we tore it down last year.

We started hacking up the parts where there was grass growing, although there wasn't that much since it had been covered by that ramp for so long.
Edging can be tricky, but as I discovered.... Using the right tools can make all of the difference!
If you're still relatively new to gardening like I am, don't worry! You can easily get those amazing professional-looking flower beds too!
