You could even create a colour co-ordinated flower bed to match your garden furniture or conservatory! Make a note of any structures you will need in the garden. ( shed, greenhouse, compost bins etc; ) If you're planning a vegetable plot, grow plants your family love to eat. No point in cultivating 2 lines of perfect beetroot if no-one eats it!
