Tips for Designing Small Space Gardens
 
Step One – Erect a fence so that it borders around your small garden. The fence will also serve to provide extra area to climber plants.
Step Two – Plant your favorite perennial flowers like the Aster, Black Eyed Susan, Daylilies, Geranium, Rose, etc. Flowers add beauty as well as fragrance to a garden.
Step Three – The standard cottage garden is just perfect for a limited space. Having a cottage garden is easy. The plants will fall over and flux with one another creating clumps of blooms all around.
Step Four - Grow trellises inhanging baskets in your small garden and also install bird houses. Make use of the ample vertical space.
Step Five – Grow taller plants at the back and smaller ones in the front. It is okay even if your garden appears a bit crowded. Just do not compromise on maintenance, which will be your small garden’s key feature.
Step Six – You can also choose to grow some vegetables and herbs between the flowers. Having few compact, decorative trees or fruit trees at specific points will also look wonderful.

Step Seven – You can grow ornamental grass on the ground and use tiny neat pebbles to pave a way in between.
