June 8, 2007, Newsletter Issue #142: Tips when planting in a small yard

Tip of the Week

While you may want to plant everything at once, you should really try to nail down your plan first as a small garden can be overwhelmed quickly by haphazard planting. Try to keep things simple and avoid a hodgepodge…repeat garden elements. An example would be, rather than planting a wide assortment of plants, use a few types repeatedly in different areas of the garden. Rely on just two or three that best express the garden´s mood. Choose one or two types, say pavings, walkways, and use those same materials throughout the garden to create a visual, as well as a physical, connection.
