Who doesn’t love to see a lush green garden in the backyard? A beautiful garden does bring a sense of calm and peace, but at the same time, it needs a little thought and planning. If you’ve been planning to create a garden without breaking the bank, you can implement some design principles and elements to make your space stand out and visually appealing. 

In addition, when it comes to a garden, the size doesn’t matter; you have to pay attention to every detail, and even the smallest of spaces can be turned into something beautiful. Here are a few ways that can be achieved: 

Add more flowers
Flowers aren’t just beautiful to look at, they smell divine too. In a garden full of small plants and trees, flowers add a splash of color, providing your garden with focal points and contrasts. 

Add texture
Flowers aren’t the only things that can act as a focal point for your garden. You can also add plants of different colors, leaf sizes, and textures to create contrast and guide the eye throughout your garden. They can also add a theme to your garden to make it look unique and eye-catching. 

Control the growth of weeds
Weeds are plants that grow wildly in the gardens, they do not only compete with your plants for food and nutrition but also act as a sour patch in your beautiful garden. So try to remove them at the earliest to help your plants grow healthy and full of nutrition.

Play with heights
Not all plants in your garden have to be on the ground, some of them can be kept in pots that hang near your window. This forces the viewers’ eyes off the ground and adds composition to the image of your garden, highlighting the other parts without blocking its way.

Avoid clutter
A small garden is often a challenge to work with, but it can also be turned into an Eden. Instead of grouping similar plants together, you can divide them according to the sunlight they need to grow. This not only makes your garden look more serene but also avoids clutter.
