Sound familiar?

Gorgeous in June. Bare by August.

Most flower gardens are planted on impulse and hope. A little planning is what turns a good-looking border into one that keeps going.

Blooms that don't overlap

Everything flowers at once, then nothing does. A bloom calendar shows you the gaps before you plant.

Colors that clash

Six ready-made palettes and a color worksheet help you choose a scheme and stick to it.

Plants in the wrong spot

Track your sun, check your soil and match plants to the spot before you spend a cent.

Money spent without a plan

A budget planner, shopping lists and a cost tracker keep the plant haul under control.
