Planning your garden
I suggest the best way of going about this is to begin inside your house. Walk from room to room, deciding which room you will be sitting in most, and go to the window in that room from which you get the best view of the garden. If you really feel you will not see very much from the house, decide on the sitting area you will use most outside. Then take paper and pencil and make rough sketches of what you would like to see from these positions. Mark out exactly where you would like the flowers Noosa situated, the shape of the borders, and so on. I know most books will tell you to start with a layout on graph paper, but I feel this comes later, for after all you don’t look down on trees, paths and lawns and I think it is important to try first of all to visualize your garden as you would eventually like to see it in its maturity.

Transporting and Looking after your Flowers
