Garden designer Lisa Aiken shares five small-space planning tips:
Think about your garden's scale and proportion. The previous owner's
oversized
planters dwarfed the tiny space.
Create a smooth traffic flow with stepping stones, flower beds
or railings.
Use lighting strategically Electrical wire was built into the stacking
flagstone beds for spotlights that make the garden glow from below.
Incorporate a variety of small containers Pots expand your garden
without taking up too much space - and you can easily move them when company arrives.
Keep your plant colour scheme simple Aiken chose white, purple
and lime green to accent the beds and containers.
