I love how you go into such detail! I built a couple flower beds for my mom and her companion several years ago, then helped them pick out a good mix of annuals and perennials.

I had no experience with building flowerbeds or how to plant and take care of the the flowers in them, but I found a greap site that had specific directions for every type of flower we needed.

I ended up enjoying the every step of the project which has ended up a routine for that we have done three times now!
