WGCF members quick tips:
Consult with Landscape experts before unertaking a huge renewal of your garden.
Always plan on paper the design of the garden, whether it is for vegetables or perennials or annuals. Stick to the plan as you plant. Consider developing a focal point in the garden and basing the plantings around the focal point.
Carry a small funnel with you to flower shows. Adding water to exhibits will be much easier.
