Flower Garden

Where are some good sites on the internet to help me design my flower garden?

I’m realizing that I’m not very good at designing our flower garden and I thought maybe I could get some help online. I’m working with annual flowers right now. I did a search and found a couple of sites, but I’m looking for something simple – maybe with pictures and simple information. Any helpful sites would be appreciated. Thanks.

I personally think the best rules in design are as few as possible. Just plant and have fun! That being said they teach us master gardeners a few basic rules:

1-Keep it simple.
2-Plan for low maintenance.
3-Work from an overall plan (I often violate this)
4-Call Miss Dig (A free service in Michigan – it’s to locate buried power lines.)
5-Don’t make beds too narrow.
6-Don’t plant trees too close to the house or other plants.
7- Make sure you get plants which do well in your climate and region.

With that in mind, here’s some sites:
