First, you need to get the soil ready. Dig up and mix the top few inches of soil to make it better. Add some fertilizer to give it nutrients. This will help the soil drain water better and get rid of weeds.
Next, plan your flower bed! Before planting, find out which plants grow well in your area. Check which ones need sunlight and which ones need shade. Think about the colors you want to see in your garden.
Put tall plants in the back, medium plants in the middle, and short plants in the front to create a layered look.
