Failures are the star-stuff dreams are made of
You know how we are all just leftover particles from dead stars?
The very beginning of human knowledge is screwing up, or at the very least, understanding how things work.
Failure= Understanding Success
We can also acknowledge beautiful things unfolding from devastating realties. Waxing philosophical now...
That being said there may be mistakes you'd like to avoid altogether:
Mistake #1: All planning and no action.
Don't plan stuff out and then not do it. Don't do that to yourself, it's not nice.

- Prairie Moon has some layouts to get you started: https://www.prairiemoon.com/PDF/2020-Prairie-Moon-Nursery.Garden-Kit-Layout-Suggestion_WEB.pdf
Mistake #2: Ignoring the house front.
The front of your house should be the first place you look to make a statement about natural spaces and it's likely the one you frequent the most. Just remember:
