Garden Make-Overs
(see also Gardens to visit and Gardening)
Perhaps you have an opportunity now to make an entirely new garden, or just to give your present one a make-over, or simply to make a few improvements that you have longed to make, or to help someone to do so. If you really get into it, there is so much to learn about growing things - about growing conditions, plants, their care, and so on: there is no shortage of sources of information about the theory.
