Your own urban garden design
City gardens tend to be a bit smaller than country gardens, so you are a bit more limited in the options for your garden. Fortunately, you don't need a lot of space to enjoy your own garden. When you want to lay out your city garden, we recommend starting by measuring the garden. Draw out a small floor plan and then you can begin to lay out your brand new city garden.
City garden planting
Which plants are suitable in a small town garden? Basically, you choose plants and flowers that you like best, but it's best to keep a few guidelines in mind. For example, it is smart to choose plants that do not grow too fast and proliferate. In addition, urban gardens often have a relatively large amount of shade, so you should choose vegetation that does well in the (semi-)shade. Think ferns, ornamental grasses, heart lily, forget-me-not, stork-beak, Columbine and monkshood.
Decorate the garden fence!
To add more greenery, you can choose a green hedge. A good choice is the privet hedge. This hedge plant is popular in urban areas because it is extremely resistant to air pollution and does well on almost all soil types. You can also decorate your current wooden or stone fence with greenery. Good examples are ivy or espalier trees, which are grown in such a way that they can be perfectly placed against the fence.
Urban garden seating and accessories
For the seating area, you can actually go in any direction. You may already have a canopy adjacent to the house or you may want to install a detached canopy or gazebo. You can also opt for a pergola in the middle of the garden so that you have a view in all directions. Dress up the seating area and the rest of the garden with beautiful lighting. This will allow you to enjoy your garden at night as well. A string of lights near your seating area fits well in the city garden. Choose a garden set or lounge set that you like or get to work with scaffold wood yourself.
Making small city garden look bigger
Do you want to use optical effects to make your urban garden appear larger? You create extra depth by planting plants with light colors in the front of the garden, and putting the dark plants right at the back. You can also feel free to plant a large tree. Such a striking eye-catcher gives your garden a more robust look. Hang mirrors on the fence. When working with rectangles or oblong wooden beams or tiles for paving, lay them vertically instead of horizontally. This will make the garden appear deeper.
