1. All the little thigs counts
Nowadays all surfaces can be greened, hanging gardens, climbers, and a lot of other options. If your garden is small and paved, lift a few odd slabs and add some plants or fast-growing veg.
2. Raise the roof
To fight the windy days, you should choose plants that can cope with exposed windy conditions for your rooftop. Tough shrubs like euonymus, griselinia and sambucus nigra, low growing plants that cling to the ground such as alchemilla mollis, and perennials that have flexible stems. Verbena bonariensis looks lovely blowing in the wind.
3. Best-laid plans
Even when your garden is small, you should always look for plans! For small terraces, one of the most important things is the accesses, it makes even more important you grasp the scale before you get carried away at the garden center.
4. Consistent boundaries
Try to homogenize the boundaries of your garden. Contour the fact of having different types of materials, such as a mix of brick walls and old fence panels owned by different neighbours, try painting in a neutral shade creating harmony to your green place.
5. Carefully pick the plants
Evergreen shrubs might not seem exciting but if you choose carefully you can create a low maintenance oasis that is drought and pollution tolerant. If you’re a busy person, ground cover plants such as geraniums, periwinkle and viper’s bugloss are also brilliant!
