While constructing our dream home, we usually emphasize on big rooms, spacious kitchens, and wide balconies, that we tend to forget the importance and beauty associated with gardens. And when we realise that we need some greenery, we are not left with enough space for it. 

If you do want nature to be a part of your home but can’t figure out enough space for it, then browse through these 17 ideas for small gardens which are sure to fit in even the smallest of place in your home.

1. A garden in a room

This garden can be developed anywhere in your house, in a room, the hall, or even under the stairs. You just need enough space to install a small plant in a corner.

2. Desert garden

This type of garden is the most suitable for those who would love to have a garden but often forget to water it. A desert garden comprises red soil, cactus, and porous rocks which do not need water that regularly.

3. Palm trees

Palm trees work best for small spaces considering that these grow in width and hence do not require much space for planting them.

4. Multiple gardens

We typically use grass in regular gardens as the base, but you can also use gravel, rocks, or even tree barks for creating various small gardens together.

5. Tropical garden

Tropical small gardens look best around swimming pools or in open spaces and bring in a relaxed atmosphere.

6. Rocks or pebbles

Indoor gardens if not confined properly, may make its surroundings dusty and muddy during the maintenance of the plants. Use small stones or big rocks to avoid this and in turn, enhance the beauty of the garden.

7. A miniature garden

This little compact garden can be called as a bonsai. It has beautifully fitted everything a big regular garden comprises like grass, gravel, stone, cane wall, and even a fountain.

8. Two gardens in one

If you are short of space but want a bigger garden, then you can create one garden in another. Start with pebbles or stones and go a level up with grass and then further up with flowers or even bigger plants.

9. Beautify the hallway
