garden planning
Arranging future plantings
Garden planning is the process of designing and organizing a garden before planting—deciding what to grow, where to place it, and when to plant.
It typically involves mapping out beds, considering sun exposure and soil conditions, and scheduling plantings: I spent February doing garden planning so I'd be ready for spring.
The term covers everything from sketching layouts to selecting companion plants.
