In many new detached houses, or buildings with a garden for their exclusive use, the garden is not necessarily very large. That doesn’t mean it can’t be beautiful, well kept and welcoming. The aim is to make it a quiet refuge in nature, where, surrounded by greenery, we can relax.
With or without a lawn, with low-growing plants, shrubs or trees, paving slabs or timber decking, pergolas or other structures, the result can be shaped to suit every taste and budget.
Here, for inspiration, are some lovely ideas for small gardens, where different approaches and materials produce an ideal space for summer daydreaming.
