The Best Garden Design Tip<\/h2>\n

Do you love watching those makeover shows on television? The shows where a couple hates their yard, or their living room, or whatever, and a troupe of experts descends upon the home and completely renovate it in a weekend. There’s a flurry of carpenters, plumbers, painters and whatnot, and by the time the unsuspecting couple returns to the home, the camera catches their bewildered squeals of joy.<\/p>\n

I don’t know about you, but when I am in the middle of a garden design project, you are more likely to hear muffled swears than squeals of joy. That’s because I tend to overwhelm myself with projects. I don’t just want a few flower beds, I plant a formal garden. It’s not enough to build one raised bed, I need twelve. You know the situation. I’m betting you experience it yourself.<\/p>\n

If there is only one garden design tip I can give you, it’s this:
\nChange only one thing at a time.<\/p>\n

I know that sounds crazy. We all dream of complete garden makeovers. Rip out the ugly old boxwood hedge, cut down the walnut tree that kills everything trying to grow under it, get rid of the nasty hawthorn bushes. But when you try to tackle everything at once you are more likely to become frustrated, tired, cranky, and overwhelmed.<\/p>\n

Change One Thing at a Time<\/h2>\n

My garden design tip of the day is simple: change on thing at a time.<\/p>\n
