We all have some narrow gardens: a front garden, side yard or just some narrow space, for example, along the fence. Should we leave it empty? Of course, no! Make a narrow garden bed that will totally change this awkward nook and add curb appeal to the house. Here are some ideas how to.
Narrow Garden Bed Along The Fence
Most of use have that narrow patch of land along the fence, so what to plant there and how to make the space look cooler? The first solution is vines, and the fence should offer them some trellis to cover. In some time you will get a lovely alternative to a living fence, which will make your garden more welcoming. The second solution is pairing up some skinny trees and some lower height plants, which can be flowers or hedge, this way you will get a lovely mini landscape with a variety of looks. Grasses, topiaries and flowers are another idea to make this along the fence space as cool as possible. Of course, you can make up your own combo, just stick to the variety of everything: textures, heights, species.

Other Narrow Garden Beds
If we aren’t taking fence spaces into consideration, narrow garden beds are usually in the front or side yard, along the pool or path, and here we don’t need tall plants. Prefer meidum-height grasses or greenery that can withstand the conditions you have. If it’s a front yard, perhaps you can rock flowers that will enjoy lots of light. Groundcovers will also offer a fresh touch without taking much space. If you want something tall, consider a delicate tree or a high one that won’t block light incoming but for a narrow space with walls it’s not a good idea. And again while choosing the plants, stick to variety of everything to make your space as eye-catching as possible yet not claustrophobic.
