Do you have sample drawings of good flower garden layouts? #442947

Asked March 09, 2018, 11:02 AM EST

I have two 5' x 5' plots I plan to plant flowers in. I'm struggling to come up with a good layout for everything and choose good spacing for the flowers. I want to focus on bringing in pollinators. I am planning on having zinnias, cosmos, dahlias, sunflower, petunias, impatiens, echinacea, and snapdragon and maybe a few others. But I want to ensure they get the space they need and that they are planted next to the right plants. Do you have any layout suggestions and spacing advice?
