If you're over 50 with a small backyard garden, this video will save you years of trial and error. After more than 30 years in my tiny backyard, I'm sharing 3 small garden design ideas I wish I had done from the very beginning - to make my garden easier, calmer and less work as I got older.
These are simple garden design changes that any gardener over 50 or 60 can make in a small space - no major landscaping required.
In this video, you'll learn: - Why deep, overflowing garden beds stopped working for me as I got older (and what I did) - The container "rule" I stopped following and my simple approach instead - How one great plant and a trellis became the focal point in my small garden - What a display table can do for your backyard design and how to style one - How to enjoy seasonal color with annuals without planting an entire bed
Whether you have a small backyard, patio, courtyard or balcony, these small garden ideas will help you create a low-maintenance garden that's beautiful and realistic for the next 30 years.
