Even when our space is limited, there are always a few ideas that can serve as inspiration for us to bring nature indoors or out into our garden. Today, homify has selected 20 small gardens that are possible to build in even the tiniest spaces. Each project can be created creatively, quickly and economically.
Now, to start the garden design in your home you need to analyze and choose which species will grow. It is important during the process of choosing the plants to not mix many types of flowers and foliage, so you avoid spoiling the sense of balance and environmental harmony. Another key point is to pick the right plant size for the space. Once everything is chosen, it's time to get started. Check out these 20 small gardens and get inspired!
