Although it may appear counterintuitive, separating a tiny space into smaller parts based on function actually lets a small yard breathe. When divided into smaller micro zones, a long and narrow yard can have a water garden, al fresco dining area, play space, hardworking storage shed, and plenty of flowers for filling vases. Use varying heights to separate different portions of your outdoor space. You can keep it simple with a raised bed or a raised wooden deck, or go all out with an artistically terraced endeavor that separates the kids’ play area from the rest of the outdoor living space. Maintain a comparable material underfoot as you divide your garden into functional regions to weave a connecting thread between the spaces.
A simple visual indication, such as gravel or scarlet rocks, indicates that locations, such as a container garden forest, a reflecting pool, and a perennial wildflower border, are linked by more than simply geographical closeness.
