One of the best ways to improve your design ability is to critique other gardens. By looking at a landscape which you’re not intimately familiar with, you are better able to see both the good and bad of the design. I learn a lot by wondering the neighborhood and looking at front yard gardens. At each one I ask myself some important questions.

- What do I like about the design?
- What don’t I like about the design?
- Is it functional?
- How much work is required to maintain it?
- Were the plantings done correctly?
- Does it contain some design elements I could use?
I am really asking the same questions I ask myself when creating a new design except that I am working with an existing landscape and not trying to picture one in my mind. This makes the whole process so much easier.
