A garden can only be as big as the space you have to work with. Even if you are working with an extremely small space you can still make it work to your advantage. One of the best ways to approach a small garden is to create a focal point and then work around it. A focal point could be a very small fountain in the center of your garden, alternatively a small bush or tree could suffice too. As gardening is no longer about planting a few flowers and bushes here and there, you can afford to be more creative. One of the ways you can make your small garden look bigger, is by using mirrors. This is a trick that has been used in homes for centuries to give rooms the look of having more space. There is absolutely no reason why you cannot use it in the garden too. If you have a wall or fence, you can purchase beautiful mosaic mirrors and place them on the wall/fence at different angles. This will help to not only reflect your existing flowers but create the illusion of having more space. Making a small garden work to your advantage is easy if you choose a focal point and use elements like mirrors to create the illusion of space.
Nowadays the way your garden looks is just as important as the way your house look. It is important to really think about the design of the garden and what type of ambience you want to give it. You could decide to go the modern route, with harsh lines and metallic features in between the flower beds itself or go the old route where the plants and foliage are the main feature in the garden. It also important to remember that the design of your garden still needs to be practical. At the end of the day you need the garden to fulfill the needs of yourself and your family. On top of that you need to be able to maintain your garden easily. If you want to know how to create an inspiring flower garden then you need to take all of these aspects into consideration.
One of the issues with flowers in the garden is that they need to be looked after very carefully. Different flowers and plants react differently to the environment, some need lots of shade and little sun and visa versa. Before planting any of your new shrubbery take into consideration the conditions your garden has to offer.
