What are some tips to maintaining a beautiful flower garden?

Decide how much money and work you want to put in to it, and how long you will be around to enjoy it.



If you want to build a beautiful garden at a longer term home, go with perennials.



I always think about groups of color, height, and blooming season, and try to have something blooming at all times. I usually go for varieties with a long blooming season.



I include things that can be cut and brought indoors for a vase because I love fresh flowers inside.



Some of my favorites are foxglove, iris, bachelor buttons, forget-me-not, Shasta daisys, hollyhocks, primroses, babys breath, coreopsis. Look through gardening catalogs for ones you like. I like the look of an English country garden, and try to include a lot of blues and pinks.
