Overlooked spaces like corners are hidden gems just waiting to become the best spots in your outdoor hangout. In corners you can grow vegetables, have a place for plants and trees, or make a unique Zen oasis in Japanese style. Read the tips below to transform your own forgotten corner into the star of the outdoor show.
Dress Up With Your Favorite Style Garden
Choose the type of garden that makes you happiest and create it in your corner. Whether it’s a rain garden to help with water drainage, a pollinator garden to attract butterflies and bees, or a shade garden to cover up bare spots in your grass, adding a garden bed is an automatic facelift.
A themed garden is also an option. For example, a tropical one with lush, large-leaved plants, or a cottage garden with a mix of colorful flowers and rustic elements. Themes can provide a cohesive look and make the corner garden more visually appealing.
Adding a pathway through the corner garden can make it more accessible and inviting. Use materials like gravel, stepping stones, or wooden pallets to create for a charming look.
