While doing your garden clean up, take notes of what worked and didn't. Mark areas that would have been better if planted differently: easier to maintain with groundcover in place of lawn, for instance, or where more color is needed or more bulbs might fit in.
Edge beds to make a clean line and define them. Don't let them get overrun just because summer is winding down. A tidy edge makes a big difference!
