Can someone help me plant a flower garden?

I live in Northern NJ and I am trying to plant some flowers. I don't even know where to start or when to plant certain flowers. I am looking for deer resistant plants, since there are a real pest here. I was thinking about doing daffodils, Irises, pansies (from seed), geraniums, and I had success with ageratums. Any suggestions on other flowers, and when and how would I plant the above listed flowers.

1. http://www.jacksonandperkins.com Great place to start, they even have some pre-arranged gardens based on size, zone and if you put "deer resistant" in the search it will give you a good list to choose from.
2. Whya are you asking this online. Ask an actual person.....Jees
3. They wont touch daffodils but you can't plant those until the fall so they come up next spring. I had pansies in my garden but the deer ate those. They tend to avoid Purple coneflowers and Black Eyed susans, foxglove, yarrow and so many more. Do a google search on deer resistant plants to get many more ideas. Local nurseries have most perennials for sale now for planting now.
