Where to start
Ideas to try first
A garden that works has a structure that looks good all year (paths, edges, a few evergreens or a tree) and seasonal planting layered in front of it. Repeating a handful of plants reads as calm, while one of everything reads as busy.
Take the photo from where you usually look at the garden, such as the back door or a window. Mature trees, fences and buildings stay where they are.
