Bunnings, Australia's leading home improvement and garden retailer, is here to help you make the most of your small garden with our expert tips and top products.
Understanding Your Small Garden
Before you start planning, it's essential to understand the unique features of your small garden. Consider the shape, size, and aspect (direction it faces), as well as the existing plants, trees, and structures. Also, think about the amount of sunlight it receives and how this might change throughout the year.
Once you have a clear understanding of your space, you can start planning your dream garden. Remember, the key to a successful small garden is to keep it simple, functional, and visually appealing.
Designing Your Small Garden: Key Considerations
- Scale: Choose plants, furniture, and features that are appropriate for the size of your garden.
- Height: Use vertical space to create interest and make your garden feel larger. Consider climbing plants, trellises, and tiered planters.
- Color: Use a limited color palette to create a cohesive look and make your garden feel more spacious.
- Focal Points: Create a point of interest to draw the eye in and make your garden feel more inviting.
- Zones: Divide your garden into distinct zones for different activities, such as dining, relaxing, or gardening.
