Where you should put your garden largely depends on your needs, the current state of your landscape, and the amount of space you have. Generally speaking, gardens should be in a convenient location, like close to your house, front door, or along a path. This will make it much easier for you to maintain your garden compared to going all the way to the other side of your yard.  Gardens can also make beautiful borders for patios, so putting a garden around a patio is a  popular solution.
