Garden Planning is your next step in growing your
Organic Victorygarden plan Garden, it will help guide you in preparing your garden area and buying your seeds.

 Visualize your creation 

Picture a beautiful “Victory” garden. Imagine the garden you have energy to start today and the garden you would like to see in five years.

Although gardens tend to be living organisms that grow and change in unexpected ways , a good long term vision will help you choose a good place for your garden beds, fruit trees and berry bushes and other perennials that you may not be ready to plant your first year. If you have some space, visualize a beautiful garden with some sitting areas, maybe a gazebo, possibly a swing set or play area for kids , a patio or BBQ.

Make a plan 

You can have a very simple plan that is kept in your mind or you can write it out, draw a garden map or create a virtual garden using your computer and a garden program.

Every good plan will consist of: 
  Think of how all these elements will interrelate and enhance each other, creating the beautiful garden of your dreams.

Develop a good garden calendar that reflects your own garden, and your first and last frost days. You can find more information and a free garden calendar on our gardening calendar page.
