Garden-making tips for getting your plant spacing right (the first time)

Many a gardener has discovered through trial and error that getting the spacing between plants right—especially the first time—can be a challenge.

I vividly recall a visit with an avid gardener who’d asked me to consult with her about making edits to a maturing garden. She had an excellent eye for outstanding plants and her garden contained many of my all-time favorites — ones I know, love, and use in my home garden as well as client gardens.
But this story, unfortunately has a sad ending. In early days of laying out her garden, she’d planted a Stewartia pseudocamellia, Stewartia monadelpha, and several more wonderful trees and large shrubs that I can’t precisely recall from this distance, all in a small back yard. By the time I visited, they’d been in-ground for several years and were beginning to really come into their own, strutting their stuff and showing off the qualities for which they’d been chosen.

Remember back in the day when you'd eagerly await the arrival of your favorite garden magazine? If you're like me, you'd tear into it and eagerly devour its contents. Over time the joy of arrival faded as it became less garden and more ad.

Well, good news! You can still get that jolt of garden goodness and unadulterated inspiration from Garden Design Magazine — 148 luscious pages in each issue, in-depth articles with gorgeous photography, and get this ... no ads. How cool is that?
