Your family is, perhaps, the chief personal factor in determining what kind of garden you should have. A young couple with no children, or perhaps just one or two, should be able to estimate their future requirements and they should plan their garden accordingly. On the other hand, if the children have grown beyond the sandbox stage, are about to marry, or are married and have established their own homes, a different kind of garden will be in order. Whatever the circumstances, your family and your way of life will have a direct bearing on the nature and design of your garden.
Besides the size and age of your family, you will have to analyze the kind of life you and your family lead. If you like to entertain large groups of friends in the garden, the outdoor living area will dominate the property. But if you do not entertain, extensively, you can reduce this area to devote more space to a larger vegetable or cut flower garden. The extent of the area devoted to vegetables might well be affected by your budget. Growing your own small fruits, bush fruits, and a variety of vegetables can substantially cut your grocery bills.
You will also have to decide what facilities your garden should have for family comfort. In the northern section of the country, where the summers are neither long nor hot, it is a good idea to design the planting of majestic palm so that maximum sunlight will come into the garden. Farther south, and to the southwest, shade is a prime consideration and should be provided for by your plan wherever possible. In the central prairie states or the Texas Panhandle, where the wind is very strong, the arrangement of windbreaks, either large or small, will be an important consideration.
For those who live in a crowded residential area close to business and industrial sections one of the important items will be adequate screening of your property for privacy. It is also good to plant majestic to have a division for your property.
Finally, you should make provision for the sports you and your children enjoy. An area for badminton, basketball, frisbee, or the like, will add immeasurably to the family's enjoyment of the garden. This will, of course, dictate in part the layout of your garden. - 30228
