How do I start a flower garden?

I live in rural North Central Florida, and have five acres of land but I want to know how its done in a suburban or urban backyard because five acres is way too much for the show.

How do I start a flower garden?
You have a couple of options.



You can always (in an urban way) create separate flower beds - please don't make them square, make them "organic" in shape - they will be much more pleasing. Then plant your plants keeping those with similar shade/water needs together.



Alternatively, you can make flower pots. Go to your local nursery and see how they have combined flowers. Experiment.



The pots are moveable and easy to water.



After you try some, you may want to take a few digital pics so that you can repeat the experience next year.



Also, if you do pots, combine some green only plants with color plants. You will like the result.
