Small Garden Ideas and Inspiration

garden ideas and inspiration



Any size yard can be turned into an oasis. Decorate your outdoor recreation area with potted Evergreen Topiary. They can somehow be both formal and festive at the same time. Because they are always green, they can be beautiful at any time of the year. You can decorate them for the holidays and light up for evening entertainment.


Catch the eye



An island garden in the meadow is a great focal point. Decorate it even more with bold, eye-catching ornaments or large containers. As the island is viewed from all sides, tall, full-grown plants can be planted in the center to evoke a sense of abundance.


Room with a view


No matter how much space you have for the garden, it will always be bigger if there is a little distance between you and the garden. A thin lawn provides enough space to create a view from your living area. Design the scene with small trees and shrubs and then paint the area with soft textures and colors. Now when you get out of your deck, you can go straight into the mix. Even a small garden can make a big difference.


Bright furniture illuminates a garden



Brightly colored furniture and ornaments can set the tone for your garden, even if your plants are not in bloom. Having a small garden is a real advantage because you can only get the most impact from a few well-selected pieces. They can be moved to the garden or become part of the garden.


Expand your space with curves


A typical small, square, suburban backyard can be enlarged by adding curves that partially obscure the view around them. Interested gardeners can throw their way across the yard, but even a crescent can create intrigue. Keep the look consistent by repeating the color intermittently throughout the planting. The use of cool blue plants at the end of the border further creates a sense of distance.


Easy Formality


Create your own Versace with the help of cut hedges and green borders with geometric details. A good pruning in the spring and a little touch-up will take the mid-season to transform your home into your castle. You can decorate it with seasonal pots with colorful flowers and furniture to suit your taste.


Street style


Even if you do not have a yard, you can accommodate a small garden. Whether you are trying to create a sense of privacy or encourage people nearby to chat, a simple table and chairs surrounded by large containers will transform this open space into a cheerful bistro-like gathering place.


Intimate food


If the only place you need to garden is a small yard, look up without looking outside. By planting flags on the wall of the house and on the adjacent fence, an intimate, but rich, dining space is created. The small pond in the foreground adds a cottage garden feel to the vast clusters of moss and flowering plants growing in the rock.


Borrowed view



If your small yard is bordered by trees, borrow the scenery and create some maneuvers about what is on the other side. Nothing works better than a fence with a gate. Let the garden path lead to the gate and then make it more attractive by placing a focal plant or container on the other side of the gate. It's okay if you never go to the woods, you will feel like the expanse is part of your yard.

Great Designs for Container Groupings

Once your single containers are ready to merge It's hard to fail with a group of containers. Any size group, from a simple couple to large multiples, can enhance any outdoor space. Open patios and decks become softer and more intimate when you place pots around them. A straight and simple outdoor path lined with containers can become a wave of sorts—a formal one with some plants or an informal path with others. You never know what you'll come up with by placing one pot next to another or a particular plant with others. Once you start experimenting, you'll notice many places where a container is grouped. 1. Combine bright colors This collection of colorful pots introduces the viewer to the vivid color scheme in the beds behind it, mainly blue flowers. However, to maintain exclusivity, pots get exclusive rights to colors like magenta, pink and chartreuse. 2. Formal lateralization A combination of papyrus and vases always looks elegant, but when placed side by sid...

Strategies for improving a small garden space

Prioritize functionality when every inch is precious When I started designing gardens 20 years ago, I was surprised to find that small spaces were more challenging to plan than large ones. In those early years, a small number of clients would come to me with detailed lists of items they must have, and I would struggle to fit everything in. Identifying specific features and details was a major breakthrough. A garden should be the final step in the process, not the first. Since then, every consultation I have with a new client begins with three questions I've nicknamed the "three W's." These prompts help my clients imagine interacting with their redesigned spaces, and while they're useful in remodeling gardens of all sizes, they're especially helpful when space is at a premium. When my husband and I recently moved into a new house with a small backyard, we had the opportunity to use the process for ourselves. Here's what we found. Three question...
