• Books and online resources can help you learn the basics.
• Have a plan. Consider spacing, sun and drainage.
• Don't spend a lot of money on plants you don't know. Do your research.
• Think of plants as furniture. If a plant looks sad or out of place, move it.
• Once you plant something, take care of it.
