Waterpark Supplies
It’s hard to imagine that this water garden began as a concrete parking lot. After we enclosed the space with brick walls and began paving the lot with plants. The formal design, anchored with geometric shapes all came together with common waterpark supplies.
This garden measures only 30 feet by 30 feet but it feels much larger. The waterpark supply store had everything we needed. A small space works very well as a formal or structured garden, because the order and geometry of formal designs expand the space by leading your eye through it. Keeping the plant material in scale is also very important. Dwarf boxwood for the hedges. To keep the structure of the garden from being cold and hard, take advantage of the vertical space as well; climbing roses and jasmine spill over the walls, softening the design.
We recommend limiting color and types of plant material in a small garden to avoid visual confusion. My garden has a lot of blue , yellow and white. The plant material is very limited, repeated from place to place so it moves your eye around the garden.
A casual small garden.
Try many things. One of the things to consider trying that works so well in this small garden is the “outdoor room” concept. Living walls filled with azaleas, camellias, tea olive and loquat help give the space a much larger and more welcoming feel.
Fill up the garden, enclose it with vertical things and then get a decoration, like a beautiful feature and some water. Then use the space, live in it.
Long and narrow spaces
Here is an idea on how to use long narrow spaces. The garden leads to a small, formal private retreat in the back. Creating a focal point was the key design element in this tiny garden; it’s a horseshoe bed filled with pansies and English daisies.
Boxwood is used to outline the garden and give it structure. The key with these shrubs or any plants in a small garden is allowing room for them to grow. And perfect pruning is a must.
These three small gardens certainly prove that bigger isn’t always better in the garden. If you don’t have a waterpark supplier near you try looking for a local themepark supply store.
