Garden landscaping at home might be a challenge, but the relatively constant temperature in the room helps you to grow your favorite plants and species all around the year. Next are some basic tips and tricks to make your small garden look like it`s made by gardening experts.

The right size is not usually the smallest size, in order to accommodate a dozen tiny decorative pots on one shelf. By contrast, take a pick of a giant vase or a pot with a large square opening. Put all the small pots and plants in that huge vase and the impression when one just gets into the garden will be more like drawn by the giant sight of the pot, instead of the numerous small plants. If you place only a few but large objects in the small garden, you can achieve that magical sense of freedom and simplicity. Not to mention the ease for garden maintenance or the ease for keeping the perfect leaf clearance in the summer. The water drainage is another issue that disappears with one gigantic pot with an enormous amount of soil outside the soil in every small pot.

One it gives you more space for garden maintenance and two, it lets the sun to wash light through the center of the house. Garden spraying in the late afternoons will change into a pleasing game and you definitely reduce the chance of forgetting some plant. Another great hint is to go on the next level when thinking of a big object for the plants. It comes to a big object for the small garden itself - a big piece of furniture, for example.

2) Container gardening is recommended for a terrace or a balcony, which is not exposed to the south. The usual south wall is warmer and it helps the growth in the cold months, however, to escape this disadvantage - make your own cabinet with three, four or more containers. A curtain or a transparent blanket will act as a wall, as well as small mobile greenhouse on the terrace.

3) Gardening in a box is perfect for small gardens, especially if you want to achieve a more vintage or authentic layout. The wooden boxes with beautiful natural wood textures are perfect for that. A dark varnish will make the wood texture to look even more weathered and authentic.
