Gardening 101

I have a pretty descent sized yard nestled in downtown Annapolis and would love to turn it into my own little secret garden! My vision is a lush little patch of garden with veggies, fruit and flowers, with mason jar lanterns, a cute little swing and a fire pit. The vision sounds amazing, but will it happen is the real question. To give myself a little motivation I found a few gardens that would be ideal spaces for some garden glory!

Does anyone have any gardening tips for this novice garden gal?
