Sandy soil
I lived in Holland for many years and soil there was very sandy. I love gardening so did not moderate my plants for the soil, I just planted as usual and I had some beautiful gardens there over the years. I live in Ireland and soil here varies from place to place. I presently have clay soil but everything I grow just grows thankfully. I just plant and see what happens.......so far this has worked.
flowers in the sand
I also live on sandy soil. When they put our new well in they told us the sand went down 30 feet. UGGGG
Flowers that I have found to grow good in the sand are butterfly weed, tickseed, blanket flower, sweet williams, jonny jump-up, black eyed susan, shasta daisy and purple coneflower.
Good luck and happy gardening.

My brothers back garden is very dry and sandy, yet he has a huge gunnera which thrives there. I can only think the gunnera's read no gardening books! If you can start your garden from cuttings and seed from friends and neighbours, in the same area, they'll be likely to have similar soil, also you won't loose any money if you've not paid for the plants! You'll be more inclined to experiment so you can just bung plants and let them get on with it.
