July 27, 2007, Newsletter Issue #148: Attracting attention in a small yard

Tip of the Week

One of the advantages of smallness is that it encourages you to focus on quality rather than quantity. Just a few carefully chosen and well-placed plants or ornaments can change an otherwise bland plot into an evocative haven. To attract attention and keep the viewer from taking in your entire garden at a glance, consider using:
A garden willow chair placed by a large pot of tulips
A wall-mounted fountain which will save more space than a freestanding one.
An ornamental water spout protruding from a wall and flowing onto a pebble surface below. Use your imagination!
