While a larger space can be the ideal for designing a beautiful garden, it is every bit as possible to pull off something just as satisfying in only a few square meters/yards of space. The clue to terrific results in creating a beautiful garden is its proportion, design and lay-out. If you have even a modest design which enhances the existing dimensions, you absolutely can create a lovely garden even in the smallest of spaces.

Developing a small, but beautiful, garden is not necessarily a small task. Whether you intend to plant primarily in pots and baskets or directly in the garden soil, plan to put forth some of your time, effort and money. If your resources are somewhat tight, then your small space garden could actually be the perfect size for your lifestyle. To help you create a beautiful garden and transform the limited space that you have to work with, follow these tips for you.

Planning and Designing Your Garden

You know the space appears small, but just how small is it? Start by measuring the space you plan to use. Use any good-sized piece of paper or cardboard, even newspaper, to sketch out your space approximately to scale. Note significant permanent fixtures like water sources, hedges, doors/gates, windows or a view. Your drawing doesn't need to be fancy; a rough sketch will do for getting started, as it will evolve over time. Also mark compass directions such as N,S,E,W, and, a couple of times a day, the approximate time, temp and amount of sunlight received. Is there bright sun or partial shade? Is it windy?

To help you get motivated about your own beautiful garden space, start collecting. Buy or borrow some magazines and books; start a file of links for future reference or visual reminders. Select an inspirational garden design and mull it over. If possible, try to find a lay-out that is similar to small spaces just like yours. After you have examples of the look you hope for, keep your sketches, pictures and/or articles handy when you go shopping in person or online. Generally, employees at nurseries or garden centers are able to offer plant and container choices, design ideas and product recommendations, and show you the actual plants that would be suitable for your garden spot. It may well be worth any extra cost to use organic ground or potting soil, fertilizers or pest controls and soil conditioners, as robust health is paramount if everything is up close.

Frequently plans for a somewhat larger garden can be adapted to your gardening size as lots of hybrid plant varieties are now available and bred to survive and flourish while remaining sized for the smaller garden. Also, seek conventional advice first when possible, but don't be afraid to bend an occasional garden "rule" to have the small garden of your dreams.
