Do I make drawings? or do I start on one side???

I have a huge garden-It use to be a field. Its a square(4000sq ft)I tilled it up and then started walking sliding my feet making a path here and then one there! A focal point here and maybe there,if i sat here on a bench i can look over there and see this!
As Barney would say "Use Your Imagination!!"
You can always draw plans on paper first if you want-i just found it easier for me to be there in the garden and "imagine" a path or a focal point!
Good Luck on your planning!!! its lots of fun!

I couldn't agree more, I found the best way is to go out there sit down and start dreaming. Find your most comfortable spot and work from there. Do you want a lg or small sitting area. Do you want several paths narrow or wide. Do you want the path/s to lead to a special/secret area perhaps through an arbor? Look at the pics here at DG and use some established gardens for a few starting ideas. Sounds like fun to me, better go get me some more property!
