When you look at different gardens, there is always the feeling you get in some gardens that these are well-designed, that all the plants are growing optimally in terms of location; and in other gardens, there is the feeling that these are planted haphazardly, and a better job could have been done in organizing the garden. But, most people don’t have the expertise to do that, and getting an expert to do your garden can be very expensive. Well, here’s a Do It Yourself Kit that will help you arrange your garden in a much better way: Link.
The site lets you create a whole garden plan that can give you the feeling of a professional plan. Steps include the actual download of some symbols and graph paper from the site, translating the scale of your garden onto the graph paper, depiction of current stationary items onto the graph that cannot be removed, play around with the design to get what you wanted.
Doing such a plan makes you think in detail about what exactly you want, and this kind of thinking is actually half the work done.

Pruning: Pruning late-flowering clematis is easy, and this clematis is no exception. Before the growth happens in early spring, cut back on the stems to a pair of strong buds 15cm to 20cm (6in to 8in) above ground level. An added advantage of this technique is that the clematis growth is removed each spring and so never becomes too much of a burden on its supporting plant, and as a result, the late-flowering clematis becomes useful for training into shrubs, trees and climbing roses.
