Gardens are grown to be enjoyed, whether by animals, creepy crawlies, or you, the gardener. But the planning process, and all the decisions that go along with making a garden pleasant to enjoy are not always easy.
One way to simplify this process is to garden monochromatically. Each section of your garden, or your entire garden, would represent a color of your choosing. This will limit your choice of plants and flowers immediately, making your decisions come that much quicker, so you can start enjoying garden.
