nice recommendations NJBlue and a good starting point. I have always had luck just strolling the aisles of the nurseries (nurseries not big box stores) for ideas. They will have the plants located according to what conditions they can take i.e. sun, shade and usually a good amount of information as to what to expect. The idea is don't go and buy a bunch of color - take your time, buy what you like, and build on that. It normally takes 3 years to build a garden - so make it a labor of love not something you want to get done in a weekend. Most of all enjoy and have fun!
