Son Ahlers: Deciding on what type of flowers to grow depends on a few things, such as what type of climate you live in, how much maintenance you are willing to do in your garden (i.e. roses vs something easier), and also if you would prefer to establish a perennial garden (flowers that return every year) or change from year to year with annuals.The best way to start is to find a good nursery in your area and establish a relationship with them. A small mom and pop place that also offers gardening classes would be best.You should also consult your local agricultural extension service, often associated with a university with an agri. program. They will have master gardeners who are very knowledgeable about what grows best in your part of the country.Also helpful is to get to know your neighbors who are good gardeners and ask them questions. Goo! d luck and don't be afraid to experiment, it sometimes takes a while to establish the kind of garden you want....Show more

Curt Broadhead: Where do you want to start this flower garden: sunny spot, morning sun only, partial sun? Take a look at the spot over a couple of days, and see how much sun it gets. Then go to a plant nursery, and talk to someone. Start small. Choose 2-3 kinds of flowers in different he! ights, that suit the sunlight in your location You might want! to get several of each variety. Perennials should last a few years; annuals are good for oe season only.Stick to a color palette that blends well together. Usually it's best to start small, and see how things go.I started with pots on my deck, and a border around my front shrubs.Good Luck! ...Show more
Carmelina Enoch: Every nursery or plant purchased comes with care instructions.Plant flowers you like, that is the number one one rule. Almost all garden shops/nurseries will send free catalogs to your door or you can go online. Brecks. and Springhill Nursery are running sales right now, of buy 50 get 25 off. Best of luck to you. I also suggest to get low maintenance ones, you get enjoyment and less time caring for them. If you prefer flowers that do require a lot of your attention, there are plenty of those as well. Don't forget to talk to them lol, they like that....Show more
