About this Garden Plan

Moving into a house that has no extablished beds is both exciting and daunting. I am sure this plan is beyond our resources at this time, but it's nice to have something to work toward. This area in the backyard is one of the only areas with full sun on all of our 1.5 acres. The area is slightly sloped toward the bottom of the design. The orientation is up is west, toward the right is north.
