10. Create a Mini Greenhouse
Placing your plants in a greenhouse can help them grow better.
Besides, the design of a greenhouse that is made of glass
improves the look of your backyard.
However, building a greenhouse requires a spacious backyard,
which is impossible to trick with limited resources.
Well, you can still have your own greenhouse despite the limited space.
This tall cabinet features glass doors for example
allow the cabinet to act as a mini greenhouse.
You just need to put some plants in it.
The glass doors allow the light to come into the cabinet
while displaying the plants nicely.
More importantly,
it doesn’t require lots of space,
which is what your small garden needs.
9. Window-Box Gardening idea
If your backyard lacks space to grow some plants,
you can try window-box gardening.
It is really space-saving
as you will make your plants grow right under the window trim,
so they will not take up a lot of space.
You can get the window boxes at a nursery or home-improvement store near you.
But you can also make your own window boxes
that meet your needs well.
Making a window box is like making a shelf.
You only need to make a wooden box.
Then, screw it to the wall or install L brackets to support it.
Actually,
anything that can make the box attach to the wall will do.
Just make sure the box has a few holes for good drainage.
Once the box is ready and placed under the window trim,
you can begin to pour some gravel at the bottom of the box,
then place a layer of soil-based compost on the gravel.
And finally, place your herbs in the box.
FYI,
It would be better if you place the box under your kitchen window
so you can grab them in no time from the window when you need them.
8. Go Vertical with Climbing Plants
This is a great way to overhaul your garden without gobbling up the space –
make the plants grow vertically.
To make it happen, you are going to need some trellises
and attach them on your home exterior.
Now, this is the fun part.
Choose any climbing plant you want to beef your garden up
like Black-Eyed Susan’s, Clematis, roses, or Morning Glory, you name it!
Their vibrant colours will accentuate your home exterior better than repainting it.
7. Raised-Bed Gardening
When it comes to a small garden, raised-bed gardening is your safe bet
since it enables you to grow more plants despite the limited space.
It also improves the growing seasons as it heats up more quickly
and provides better drainage comparing to the in-ground counterparts.
Keep in mind that if you follow this idea,
you’ll need to anticipate the drawbacks, though.
The drainage and heat can trigger drought stress to the plants in the summer.
And to overcome this problem,
extra mulch and supplementary irrigation is necessary.
6. Use Containers to Grow Plants
If you want to overhaul your small garden by adding more plants,
you do not need to wait for expanding the space of your garden.
You can always harness the versatility of containers to grow various kinds of plants.
You can even let your creativity work.
The containers you use to grow the plants can be anything.
You can buy some pots in the nursery near you,
or you can find something in your storage room
like bottles, buckets, bowls, and even boots to grow your plants.
They will definitely hold more plants
without taking up more space like in-ground gardening.
5. Make a Garden in Your Porch
Many houses in big cities lack front yard.
But it does not mean you can’t have your garden.
There are many ways to make a home garden
and improve the look of your home exterior.
One of which is growing ornamental plants in your porch.
As the spot where visitors see at first,
your porch needs to be overhauled with plants.
Placing some plants in the pots may be great,
but it needs extra space.
Therefore, you should hang some of the plants.
To hang the plants,
you will need to install eye hooks to the ceiling,
so they can help to suspend the hanging pots.
By doing this, you can grow more plants
without taking up the floorspace.
4. Make a Dramatic Entrance
Don’t overlook the importance of the entrance.
If you can dress up it well,
you can make a dramatic entrance that can steal anyone’s focus.
You only need wooden or wrought iron gate with trellis.
Then, use the gate to grow a climbing plant.
Tip: Roses, Grape Vine, and wisteria are good climbing plants
to create a dramatic entrance.
3. Trim Your Boxwood
Doing a garden makeover project can be simple.
You do not need to add more plants nor furniture for the outdoor entertaining area.
You simply need to tidy up your small garden and first,
you can begin with trimming your boxwood.
Google and spare time are things you need to convert your horrible boxwood
to a new highlight that anyone can enjoy freely before they say hello.
2. Set your Lighting
Your small garden may look adorable during the day time.
don’t let its beauty fade away when the night comes.
Maintain the beauty of your garden by lighting it up.
Before installing the lights,
you need to ask yourself what you want your garden to look like
after you done with your installation.

some DIY fairy light mason jars or string LED lights would be perfect.
