You don’t have to own a large garden to get creative and make a pleasant, fun place for spending time.
Read on for some tips on how to make the most out of a small garden.
Try some trellises
If your garden does not have that much room for flower beds, why not fit some trellises to your fence and select plants that will grow up them, like sweet peas? That way, you can add life and beauty while still leaving plenty of space for other things.
Floating furniture
Having some chairs and other items of furniture in the garden will be essential if you want to invite people over.
For small gardens, hanging chairs will provide comfort without cluttering space. An example would be the hanging egg-shaped chairs available as part of the Supremo Barcelona garden furniture range. They even have double-seated ones for romantic summer nights.
Vegetable vision
If your garden is restricted, it may feel like there would be no room to grow vegetables while still leaving social space – but containers could be the answer.
Some vegetables – notably beans – will thrive in containers as well as beds. You could grow broad and runner beans this way, and even add some tomatoes.
Cater to kids
You can create a summer play area for your children very simply by giving up one of your raised flower beds, and using it as a sandpit instead!
