When it comes to getting the plants for your garden it is important to choose plants that will grow in your gardens climate and will grow to your expectations.

This means that you need to know: How wet or dry an area is? How cold does your garden get in Winter and how hot in Summer?  Are there any prevailing winds? Is it a sunny or shady spot? How big do you want your plants to grow? How much maintenance are you prepared to provide

Once you know all this and if you are starting from scratch you can now buy your plants with confidence. If you are not sure about any of the above points you need to chat to a garden expert in your area to find out what your area is like.
