Knowing where the sun and shade in your garden is throughout the day is an integral part to making sure that the plants that you choose for your garden thrive. Many plants like full sun or partial sun, so it’s important to know where to put them in your yard. Not only does it save you money but not having to continuously replace plants, but your garden will look lush and full when you get the right plants in the spot that they love.

The best way to mark where the sun and shade is in your garden is as easy as stepping outside several times during the day. Draw a rough map of your yard including grass and flower beds and mark which areas are in full sun, partial sun, or shade at three times during the day-morning, noon, and evening. This will help you determine which plants will go where when you shop for your plants and flowers at your garden shop.

Each plant is marked as to what kind of sun or shade that they like, so if you know what area of your yard will be sunny during different times of the day, it makes it easy to pick and choose which flowers will work for your yard. Picking the right plants and flowers will make your yard come alive and with a little planning and reading the flower labels, it’s as easy as picking the plants and flowers you love and putting them in the area that’s right for them.
