How to use this plan
- Mark out your bed and set plants out (still in pots) using the spacing column.
- Place taller and wider plants to the back or centre, lower plants to the front or edges.
- Group by light and water needs so each plant gets the right conditions.
- Plant, mulch, water in well — then tick each plant off as you go.
