10 Tips to make a small garden look bigger

Here are 10 ideas that I used in our small jungle garden to make it look bigger. We have a small garden and we often hear it looks bigger than it really is. This is what I did to optically enlarge the space. 00:00 1 Blur the boundaries Use climbing plants and heigh plants to green-up the neighbor fences and walls. This way the garden feels more spacious because it's harder to see were the boundaries are. Clumping bamboos (Fargesias) are are very suitable for this. You can also use natural looking fencing materials. 01:03 2 Use big plants Big foliage plants like Tetrapanax, Gunnera, bananas and Hostas draw the eye and add dimension to the garden. 01:51 3 Use tall plants Some small trees and shrubs lika a fig tree, Japanese maples, bamboos and hardy palm trees create some privacy and can also blur the boundaries. Tall plants in a border create depth and dimension, Tall plants doesn't have to be planted at the back. Some heigh plants have a small base and transparant, those plants can also be planted in front or in the middle of a border. The differences in height create a playful effect. *Tip: plants with "Fastigiata" in their names are small and upgrowing. 02:31 4 Borrow the landscape A neighbor tree can be used in a sightline or as backdrop in your garden. It gives the feeling that the garden is much larger. 02:56 5 Make use of the vertical space Vertical gardens, walled planters and climbing plants can also blur the boundaries and will make a small space less claustrophobic. Behind a border they will add some depth. 03:45 6 Play with textures Fine-textured plants like ferns and bamboo behind large foliage plants create depth. Those big leaves draw the eye while fine-textured plants fade into the background. 04:31 7 No straight lines By using curved border edges and pathways you can't clearly see where it ends. This creates an illusion of a larger space. Pathways will also draw the eye through the space and make it look longer than it actually is. 05:13 8 Use the same color theme By using the same colors and patterns will make a garden space appear bigger and more tranquil. 05:50 9 Make use of different heights Introduce different levels to make a small garden feel bigger. Raised borders, a waterfall near the pond, increased planters will do the trick. 06:31 10 Something to discover In our garden it's impossible to see the whole garden at first sight. In almost every corner there is something to see. This keeps the space interesting. #tropicalgardening #smallgarden #gardening
