Contact your county cooperative extension agent's office. They will have a list of plants that thrive well in your area and maybe even some literature to give you ideas on a pleasing flower bed in the location you want to enjoy.
Choose a shape and line it round with Bricks on end or Stones,Low Fence, bottles plunged into the ground etc. Shapes can be anything you like, as long as you are happy with it, it is OK! Then dig over the area well and mix in Manure or
fertilizer and or compost to give it a good start. If against a wall or the house, Place the tallest plants at the back and graduate them down to the front. If an Island bed,
Place the tallest in the middle and work to the front. Hope that's enough for you to get started. Enjoy the journey ...........................
