How do I choose the right location for my garden

[BayleeHanson]

Sure! Here are four different ways to think about choosing the right spot for your garden:

**Sunshine Check**: First off, think about how much sunlight your garden will get. Most plants love the sun, so look for a spot that gets at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight a day. If you’ve got a shady area, you might want to stick to plants that thrive in low light.

**Soil Quality**: Take a look at the soil in your potential garden spot. Good soil is key for healthy plants! You can do a little test by digging a hole and checking if the soil is loose and crumbly. If it’s too clayey or sandy, you might need to amend it before planting.

**Water Access**: Make sure your garden is close to a water source. You don’t want to be hauling buckets from the kitchen every time you need to water your plants! A spot with good drainage is also important so your plants don’t drown.
