Pressed for

SpaceMaking the most of your Small garden

This year, England's Highgrove Gardens willhost their first ever garden festival!

obviously, not everyone can make it acrossthe pond to participate. So, Homes &Property teamed up with garden designerandy sturgeon to share some small gardentips fit for royalty.

I.

Know what youwant &Get rid of therest

Invest in only a few large features. Oftentimes, we clutter the landscape by trying tohave it all.

II.

Boundaries areyour frame

Sturgeon makes the point that theboundaries contain the canvas of thegarden. So get creative with it! he suggestspainting or lighting up the boundary, orusing an interesting material to constructit.

III.

Double thefunction

In small gardens,make sure every piece alsohas some functionality. For example, getseats that also can be used for storage

IV.

Keep it simple

Don't try for too wide a variety of plants-they often end up clashing with oneanother. just pic a few and make sure theywork together.
