Converting a flower garden into shrubbery

Hello,

Shortly after moving into our home (which had a meticulously maintained flower garden), my wife and I realized that were were not gardeners. Now the flower garden is a weed bed with some pretty flowers poking through. What we were hoping to do was convert the whole thing into bushes/shrubbery, but don't know the best way to eliminate the existing flowers to make sure they don't come back.

The original plan was to:

- Herbicide the garden (nothing's growing yet)

- One week after herbicide, use a rototiller on the garden, mix in fertilizer.

- Two weeks after herbicide, plant shrubs/bushes.

Does this make sense? Thanks. -B
