Use pots for plants
You don’t have to take up too much room when you want to grow plants and vegetables. The best way to do this is by growing them in pots instead of in the ground. That way, they won’t take up too much room but will still bring a colourful array of flowers and herbs to your backyard. You can then place these pots around the garden so that it will add a pop of colour to different areas. If the weather is going to be bad, you can even bring them inside so that they won’t get harmed. Therefore, consider buying several pots so that you can get planting to your heart’s content.

Consider vertical plants
Instead of going outwards with your plants, you should consider adding some vertical plants for your garden. That way, they won’t take up much space in your small garden while they grow. They also look beautiful and will add character to your backyard. Also, consider adding these vertical plants against your walls in the yard, so that they have plenty of room to grow. And once you have got the perfect fencing suppliers sorted for your garden, you could even grow plants against these to make the most of the space in your yard. Some gardeners even mount stacker plant boxes to their fence to create the ultimate vertical garden.

Install a small pond or water feature
You don’t need the biggest garden in the world to have a small pond or water feature. In fact, as we talked about before, a small fountain would really finish off the garden nicely. Therefore, you should consider what would work best in your garden. A small pond is an ideal way to add some life to your garden. As you can read about in this article, the tiny oasis will bring butterflies and birds flocking to your garden. As well as this, it can provide some much-needed colour to tight areas in your garden. However, choose fish that are easy to look after so it’s low-maintenance!

Remember that if you still want an area for entertaining, you could remove some of the lawn. That way, you can create a small patio area for your table and chairs.
