Where are some good sites on the internet to help me design my flower garden?
Question:I'm realizing that I'm not very good at designing our flower garden and I thought maybe I could get some help online. I'm working with annual flowers right now. I did a search and found a couple of sites, but I'm looking for something simple - maybe with pictures and simple information. Any helpful sites would be appreciated. Thanks.

I personally think the best rules in design are as few as possible. Just plant and have fun! That being said they teach us master gardeners a few basic rules:
1-Keep it simple.
2-Plan for low maintenance.
3-Work from an overall plan (I often violate this)
4-Call Miss Dig (A free service in Michigan - it's to locate buried power lines.)
5-Don't make beds too narrow.
6-Don't plant trees too close to the house or other plants.
7- Make sure you get plants which do well in your climate and region.
With that in mind, here's some sites:
www.bhg.com is great!
I agree with that guy! He said all that i would have said if i got here first! Too bad i didnt. that is some great advice! You should listen to him! I love flower gardens but they are hard sometimes to decorate!...You just cant figure it out. And it could be really hot so you dont even want to even try and do anything with it so it just looks terrible...you should get on decorating your garden and mabey get off the computer?...lol..jp.Cassie
