<div>I love to design small gardens and courtyards -- because you don't need many plants or a lot of material, its possible to splurge on the best! And the transformation value is over the top, because you see it all at once! There are a lot of tricks to make a small space seem larger.... "disappearing paths," mirrors on walls, borrowed scenery, reverse perspective.... and some basic rules as well, such as using fewer, larger items, keeping accessories consistent in color or materials, and planting in layers, includng vertical!</div><div> </div><div>I have photos of small gardens that have been transformed but am not sure how to post them here.</div>
