You've probably heard of a planting plan and wonder why you'd want one depending on what you use your garden for and what you want to plant; having a planting plan completed before planting your garden can have several different benefits.

For example, if you wish to make a sensory-style garden, the planting plan should include plants with strong scents, bold colors, and movement that generates some sound, such as the soft brushing sound of grasses in the wind.
