Gardens are a great way to spend extra time. They can bring
both life and curb appeal to your home. If you are a green thumb
you may feel at a loss without a gardening project near at hand.
However, sometimes space and resources do not allow for large
and lush gardens.
Luckily, not all gardens have to be expansive and consuming.
Gardens can be as miniscule as you wish and made to fit on
almost any property. Whatever your space may be there is a way
to fit a small garden somewhere.
If you have a green thumb but are limited on room a small
garden may be perfect for you. Small gardens give you the
opportunity to focus your attention on a small number of plants.
What are the pros and cons of a small garden?
Pros
1. Equipment – When your garden is smaller you don’t need
massive or expensive tools. Typical hand tools should work
perfectly fine for most small gardens.
2. Fill space – If you have small, unused space around your
yard a small garden would be great at filling spaces like this.
Small nooks and crannies can be spruced up by a small
garden.
Cons
1. Work – A small garden does require less work than a larger
garden, but that does not mean that it is no work at all. Small
gardens still require maintenance and care to reach full
potential.

2. Noticeable crop loss – Because the garden is smaller,
diminished growth becomes more noticeable. When you
have crop loss it may be much more difficult to cover up or
hide.
Small gardens do not cost as much as larger gardens. They take
fewer resources and require less preparation. Gardens under
500 square feet average only $483. This can vary depending on
your space and the steps you have to take to get your garden
ready. (Source: Red Beacon)

The great thing about small cohesive gardens is that they are
easily organized. Your small garden will look precise and
purposeful with less effort than it would take for a large garden.
If you are near a natural growth of trees, you can place your
small garden near it to incorporate them. This will tie them
together, making it look as though the woods were part of a
planned garden area. Source: Brian Kelley / Flickr

brick raised garden bed is a wonderfully classic way to adorn
your garden. Brick is sturdy and guarantees your small garden
does not get tred on.

Using small raised garden beds as dividing walls is a smart use
of space. You can include small gardens around your yard to
create separate and distinct areas.
When you have a raised patio or deck you can cover the bottom
portion with a garden. This prevents the sides of your raised
patio from being exposed and can provide more depth and
appeal than plain, blank woodwork. See more of this home here.

Small gardens can be used to punctuate design. If you have a
well cared for and manicured lawn, a colorful garden is the
perfect addition to line the lawn and give it depth.
The right selection of plants is what really makes a small garden
special. Make sure that your plants fit your theme and tone. With
a water feature, tall grasses and marsh plants are perfect to
exemplify the pond look.
