A small yard can seem bigger, more welcoming, and a lot more charming when you employ a few basic gardening techniques. With these methods, you can transform your cozy little yard into the garden of your dreams:
-Soften the edges of your lawn so they don’t seem so imposing. If you
have a fence, you can
* Paint the fence a bright color (dark colors heighten the sense of constriction).
* Add lush vines or climbing roses.
* Adorn the fence with potted plants.
- Create a varied layering effect — that is, position different plant types and textures above and behind one another, stepping up to the edges of your yard. Some gardeners literally display a combination of in-ground and potted plants on and around a rack or stepladder.
- Add a focal point — a statue, a small fountain, or one spectacular pot or urn with a big, dramatic plant or showy combination of plants; this move draws attention away from the close boundaries.
