There are so many different plants
available that it's sometimes difficult to choose, so often it helps
to decide on a "theme" of what you're looking for. Of course
some of the obvious ones are still the best, like a Butterfly Garden
(pictured above) which features flowers that attract butterflies.
Gardens don't have to be huge, so
for each theme I've created 2 options, a smaller 4'-5' "Accent
Garden" that you can fill a little niche of your yard. And
if you have a lot of space, you can create a "Feature Garden."
Besides space, budget may be a deciding factor, so I've included an
estimate of the cost involved with the plants and possible
accessories (landscape fabric, mulch, edging, etc. are optional and
not included in the estimate).
