Well, if you have not done much gardening, you might want to start out small. It can be a LOT of work depending on your project. The pictures I posted for that project took me about 2 weeks to finish. You should concider how much work you want to put into it and how much money you want to spend. Maybe look for ideas on the Internet. Also, you need to know the differences between annuals and perennials and make sure your plants are appropriate for the lighting conditions you will be putting them in or they will die. Start small and the work your way into bigger projects.
