Find a garden project that fits your space

Answer three quick questionsChoose your space, sunlight, and what you want most. We’ll point you to a good first project.
1. What space are you working with?
2. How much direct sunlight does it get?
3. What do you want from your garden?
Take a quick look first

Check these four things before you shop

Ten minutes of checking can help you avoid the wrong plants, pots, and tools.

Sunlight

Count the hours when the sun shines directly on the space. Bright shade does not count as direct sun.

Water

Make sure you can reach the space easily with a hose or a full watering can.

Drainage

Check where extra water will go so it does not damage floors, walls, or a neighbor’s space.

Your time

Choose a garden you can care for during a normal busy week.

Four details that change your best starting point

  • Space: measure the usable floor, rail, wall, or bed area before choosing a layout.
  • Light: observe direct sun across several ordinary days rather than guessing from one moment.
  • Time: choose a care rhythm you can repeat in a busy week.
  • Budget: solve drainage, containers, soil, and access before decorative extras.
