<human>:  How do I plant a perennial garden?
<bot>: To plant a perennial garden, you will need to prepare an area by removing any weeds or debris. Then dig out any shallow-rooted weeds. Make sure the soil is loose and work in compost or other organic matter to improve the soil's structure and fertility. Next, choose the plants you want to include in the garden and prepare them for planting. Place each plant in the ground, leaving enough space between them for growth. Once the plants are in place, firmly press the soil around them and water them thoroughly. Finally, add a layer of mulch to protect the plants and help retain moisture.
