Patio Gardening for Beginners

If this is your first venture into patio gardening, you may be wondering where to start. Well, the best place is to get yourself a piece of paper and make a plan. By a plan, I don't mean a design, just jot down some ideas. For example, what aspect does your patio have? Is it sunny, windy, sheltered? Do you have a colour scheme in mind for both plants and accessories? Do you have a budget? Do you want a seating area?

See what I mean? Once you start writing down the possibilities, the ideas will flow.

Now you have to choose what to use depending on what ended up on your plan. Once you choose, all you have to do is go out and buy! Don't forget that budget though!
