I've looked on google, and have tried my hand at looking in books as well, but I thought perhaps someone here could help me out.

I'm writing a story, where a character wishes to fix up a garden. It was her mother's, and had been exceptionally well taken care of for a very long time, but when her mother left, the garden was left completely untouched(for around 12 years). The people living in the home wouldn't even go passed it if they could avoid it.

Now, this girl has grown up in the city, and knows nothing about flowers or herbs, or growing them. Her best friend however, specializes in plants and gardening(her family owns a florist/landscaping shop/business) and would know exactly what to do.

I, myself, can't garden to save my life, I can't even make grass grow. So I was wondering if anyone would be able to give me some tips on what the girls would have to do? Or maybe a few sites?

The garden was placed in the back yard, a large space of even land, fenced in. There is a koi pond, and a few 'strategically placed' trees.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
