How to re-design my overgrown garden?

I have a property which the garden needs a total revamp. Anyone have any suggestions on where to look to find simple and easy to maintain garden designs (websites or magazines suggestions) would be much appreciated.

How to re-design my overgrown garden?
You can find all kinds of plans at the library.





I would pick out the plants you want to keep and then put up a sign for the ones you want to get rid of


"Free plants you dig"





This will help labor wise.
Reply:none of know what your property looks like, so start with looking at photos of what you want. incorporate the original garden into your plan since it's cheaper. talk to landscapers and other professionals in your area. a home improvement store or university cooperative extension program are good resources, too.

I have some recommendation for you;

Well, good luck!
Reply:I just like to go looking around the local neighborhood, that way you can tell what grows good in your climate zone. And I just take pic's or notes of what I see......and do one area at a time..........if I like rocks.........well I locate rocks.......if I like trees.......same.........color....short tall..........kind of like women...what shape and size might I like for this "Eve". have fun..........one day at a time.
