Gardening Methods

Gardening tip to someone who knows nothing about gardening at all!!!?

I was wondering if anyone has any tips on what is the best type of flowers to plant? I have no gardening skills at all!!! So anyone with any good tips would help!!! Also any suggestions on the type of plant that is easy to maintain and take care of…I live in Ontario, Canada…so flowers here are only good for a few months before winter weather hits!!!
Thanks all

I like the first answer but would like to add,
start paying attention to the light at different times of day in the areas you want to plant.
8 hours is full sun
4-6 hours is considered part sun
less than 4 part shade
only dappled sun or no sun are going to need shade hardy plants, not a lot of options.
Keep in mind trees above that will get leaves soon, will create shade.
You don’t have to be exact but should have an idea so the nursery people can better help you.
