Garden Small ?
August 20th, 2011
Size does matter, most of us have a smaller garden than we would like and small garden blues aren’t nice. Gardens of the small variety make it hard to grow all the plants we would like, or indeed for most of us we buy the plant then find out after a few years that it takes over the garden and has to come out. And small garden design issues lead us to little choice in all areas of gardening, from what plants, materials, lawns and patio furniture to have.
A small garden at the front of the property often lads people to pave or tarmac it over as car parking space. If your gardens small there are many solutions so don’t worry, for instance boundaries become more of an important feature. Fences, trellises and walls make great areas for climbing plants. Box hedges can be used to create form and direct the eye, this will work with larger flowers and pathways, try designing a central circular feature to add width.
