Open areas and trees get hand in hand; if you don’t have any in your garden, we recommend adding some.

Apple, cherry, and beech trees are classic garden additions that will take time to establish, so start carrying small, manageable pots with them as soon as possible. Maple trees, especially in autumn, provide stunning color, as do Olive, Fig, and Lemon trees, which are not the largest when fully grown and thus work well enough in small to medium-sized gardens.

 

ADD LIGHT TO LOW TREES AND OUTDOOR HOUSE PLANTS

Low planting is an excellent way to create the illusion of space in a small garden. When a lot is going on at ground levels, such as outdoor potted plants and low-hanging trees and bushes, make them even more of a feature display by adding outdoor lighting – sure to add interest and depth to all garden spaces.
