New Small Front Garden Plants Ideas

How to make Small Front Garden Plants

Create a warm welcome to your home and neighbourhood by making the most of your front garden.

Even before your house comes into view, visitors will see your front garden, and a neat exterior creates a warm welcome. But a tidy and flower-filled front space can contribute more than that, and can add to the value of your home.

No matter how small your front garden, with careful planning you 
can make it both beautiful and useful. Even if you choose to cover part of it for parking, you can still make it look good.

- Choose plants that flower in every season. You'll always have something new to welcome you home.

- Plant tall foliage to provide colour, privacy and a great place for insects, but make sure the plants you choose won't block the front windows.

- Dustbins can be a real eyesore,
 so screen them with shrubs or trellising, or, as horticulturist Alys Fowler suggests, 'Make your garden so pretty your eye won't be drawn to the bins at all!'

- Use as little paving as possible. If you need to use part of your front garden to park your car, you can limit paving to only two strips of bricks.

- Don't forget window boxes. They're great for adding a splash 
of colour at any time of year.
