Cool Backyard Project: Design A Mini-Garden

Today’s feature is from Little Landscapes with Step-By-Step Instructions For Building A Healthy Miniature Garden, if you’re wanting something to perk up your deck, patio or even your balcony–this is it!

Arrange the plants loosely (still in their containers) in your garden until you have a pleasing arrangement, and have room for your accessories.

Don’t forget to add paths into your garden, possibly a patio, a nice place to sit, and pretty things to look at. Look at garden books, or your own garden for inspiration. You can draw a plan if you want, but I like to work right in the pot, seeing the height of the plants I’m working with.

This would be such a pretty addition to a patio or deck and the arrangement possibilities are endless. You can use any size of garden container, even just a large clay pot if you like. Very cool project!

Visit Little Landscapes for a complete tutorial on how to get started, they also include a list of plants suitable for this project as well as several different garden themes to give you some inspiration.
