Patio Gardens Turn Your Yard Into Another Room In Your Home


Whether you have very little yard to work with, or you just like the idea of gardening on a small scale, planting a patio garden is a great way to make your outdoor space have the feel of an indoor room. When you plant a patio garden, you create an outdoor living space that will last you through the spring and summer seasons.

There Are No Rules When It Comes To Planting Patio Gardens

Because most patio gardens use a relatively small space, there really are no hard and fast rules. You can mix plants in containers and hanging baskets that normally wouldnt go together. You can plant vegetables right next to flowers and mix and match colors to satisfy your every creative desire.

One thing that is important when creating the perfect patio garden is to create a feeling of walls with your plants. Line your patio with tall plants such as small trees or shrubs. Against this backdrop you can plant flowers, small vines, or even vegetables. You can arrange pots in each corner using bigger pots in the back of the arrangement and smaller plants in front. When you mix colors in a patio garden, you create stunning visuals. It is also fun to grow unusual plants in containers. Try growing a blueberry bush in a pot and you will be able to enjoy breakfast on your patio complete with a handful of fresh blueberries added to your cereal.

Hanging baskets are the perfect complement to patio gardens. If your patio is covered, you have plenty of places to hang gorgeous baskets spilling over with color. Try to grow things in your baskets that are unusual, such as strawberries or tomatoes. You can even grow herbs such as parsley in a basket or plant morning glory seeds in a hanging container and watch them drape down the sides as they grow.

As you arrange your plants, think about the best place to sit and enjoy the sight and scent of those plants. Once you have decided on the best place to enjoy your patio garden, place a table and chairs in that spot. If you dont envision yourself dining on the patio, place an outdoor couch, chairs, or even a lounge in that spot and prepare to spend summer evenings relaxing with a cool drink, a good book and the sights of your garden surrounding you.
