If this is the year you finally want a garden that feels beautiful and actually works for your space… I made this video for you! Every spring I see people get excited about gardening (myself included!) and immediately start buying plants — and I’ve definitely been guilty of that too. But over the years I’ve realized the difference between a chaotic garden and a dreamy one usually comes down to what happens before anything gets planted. So in this video I’m sharing the exact process I use to plan my own garden each season — from understanding your planting zone and growing conditions, to defining your garden style, choosing color palettes, mapping out walkways and raised beds, and starting seedlings at the right time. We’ll also talk about structural plantings, irrigation needs, landscape lighting, garden journals, and the little design details that make a garden feel layered and beautiful all year long. And if you’d like to follow along with the exact tools, seed sources, and garden supplies I use, don't forget to download my 2026 Garden Guide! 🌿 Download the 2026 Garden Guide: https://ashleychildershome.myflodesk....
