Small gardens are huge!

If your backyard is more like a parcel than an estate, you can still create an incredible outdoor oasis even in a small space. Tiny gardens are a BIG trend! Whether you’re in a cozy Cape, a compact condo, or confined to a porch or balcony, or you just want to scale down a bit – we have everything you need to build your small-scale dream garden.

Start by laying a solid foundation and maximize the area with stylish pavers and wallstone by Techo Bloc.

For walkways, lay out gravel paths, stepping stones, or build a solid walkway with pavers.

Or create a raised bed with pavers and wallstone – if you make it wide enough, it also serves as a bench.

For variety plant up some lightweight and durable pots and containers from Crescent Garden, which are weatherproof and easy to move around (switching things up is good!)

Fill your pots with quality container soil such as Coast of Maine’s Bar Harbor Potting Soil. Add a topiary, a dwarf shrub, or add seasonal color with fresh annual blooms from Proven Winners.

Maximize square footage by installing arbors and trellises and grow UP!

Make sure you also leave some room for planting beds, and we can help you pick out compact plants that will thrive in your little space.

If you’ve got edibles in mind we even have raised bed kits and EarthBoxes (with wheels!).

Reap a big harvest in a little space and build a square Foot Garden- be sure to check out the upcoming workshop!

Or put a dwarf blueberry shrub from Bushel & Berry in a pot and pluck from it this summer.

Then just add furniture, a grill, lanterns, and accessories – check out the Home and Garden Showplace Catalog to see what we offer.
