**Start with a Sketch**: Grab some paper and a pencil, and sketch out your yard or garden space. Think about where the sun hits the most and which areas might be shaded. Then, decide what plants you want—maybe some flowers, veggies, or herbs? Make a rough layout of where you want everything to go, keeping in mind their size and sunlight needs.

**Do Some Research**: Before you dive in, check out what plants grow well in your area and what their growing seasons are. You can look online or hit up a local gardening center for advice. Once you have an idea of what you want to plant, you can map it out based on their space requirements and how they’ll look together.
