Looking for good gardening tips
That depends a lot on where you are, what is available and how much time you want to invest in gardening.
Some plants require a lot less attention and others only live for one season (annuals).
Do some surfing to figure out what you'd like the front of your house to look like. Here is a free planning tool to help you:

one of my garden magazines suggests you put down some chicken wire,just under the soil.once they get their foot or claws stuck,thet won't come back
Add height - plant a dwarf tree such as a red bud, japanese maple, etc for a focal point.
Use pots/urns of different sizes and shapes. Pots can be easily moved/changed to suit your mood or the season. Be whimsical. An easy/affordable yet cute idea is to pound a 4 ft rebar into the ground and stack terracotta pots at angles then plant them with trailing/flowering plants.
Enjoy!

i would like to make a beautiful garden in my front yard to distract from the oldness of the house i am renting. its not the prettiest house, but i think a beautiful garden would help make it look a lot prettier. the only problem is where i want to put it the sun only hits it in the late afternoon. what would my best options be for flowers and design. i wanted it to be a butterfly garden, but there is not enough sunlight.
i live in marlow, oklahoma if that helps ne.
You could try some plants that say partial shade. Depending on where you live, the garden centers are coming alive this time of year, but you may not have a great selection yet. One bush that grows well in partial shade is a hydrangea. It will take a few years to really grow and needs a lot of water, but the huge blooms of flowers look like snowballs. They come in several colors, which can be changed by adding things to the soil. You might be better off with pots and annuals like impatients or new guniea impatients (also need a lot of water). That way you could take them with you when you move. Go to the local garden center in a few weeks and see what is available. Good luck!!

When garden planning it’s smart to pay more attention to your front garden than the back. Of course you don’t want some sloppy back garden, but your front garden is extra visible, and if you’re selling, the front garden is a huge deal to potential buyers. Additionally a nice front yard and garden can make you more attractive to your neighbors and we all like happier neighbors.
Tips for a better front garden:
Aim for simplicity. If you’ve got the time a complex front garden can look amazing, but a few slips, ones that may not make a difference in the back garden, can make a huge negative impact on the front. If you don’t have the time make sure you keep the front design simple. Beds with borders can keep a front garden tidier than beds that are border free. Plant trees that won’t shed like nuts for half the year and don’t plant...Easy Upkeep Ideas For Your Front Yard Garden Landscaping Task ...
