"Garden Ideas" Choose your project...
There are enough garden ideas to keep you busy 24/7 for the next 100 years or so. Choosing your project depends on a number of things;
How much space you have available - indoors or out.
How much you want to spend on the whole project.
How much time you have available to enjoy your new hobby.
And, of course, what appeals to you - what do you find attractive - what would enhance your home or garden?
Feature gardens could take on a whole theme using your entire outdoor space or they could be visual points in your garden visible from the windows of the house so you can get pleasure from them all through the winter months as well as during the summer. The choice is yours!

Grab a few gardening books from the library for more inspiration. I like to buy glossy gardening magazines from time to time. They have some beautiful designs. The photos may have been put together for the magazine article, but inspirational nonetheless!
