Green is good!

Don’t be scared of incorporating plants as these will soften the visible lines between paving and fencing, which tells your mind the space feels big. By planting up your garden, you blur boundary lines and throw the eye outwards. Layering your plants may feel like you are cluttering the space, but you’re actually adding interest and depth. If you really have a small space to work with, use the walls and roof. Vertical gardens or living walls have moved on in leaps and bounds since their inception and are now fully

self-contained ecosystems that help make a space come alive. The downside is the expense, around $1200 per square metre, so get a similar look from a climber, and also consider hanging baskets.
