A Lot of Garden in a Small Space

There’s much to love about growing plants in the Pacific Northwest, no matter what your garden’s size

Today we ’re off to the Pacific Northwest to visit Jen Titilah ’s garden , a little space filled with lot and mountain of beautiful plants .

I ’ve always loved plants and the felicity they pass on on us . So when we incite to the Pacific Northwest , a gardener ’s promised land , I put as many plant as I possibly could into oursmall garden . Starting with the hardscape , I then set the bone of the garden ( theevergreens ) , then the perennial . I add seasonality with annuals each springiness and summertime . I make love gardening here !

At the step up to the front door , structure is create by fortune ofevergreen shrub .

Shrubs andsmall treescreate a lush , full look even in a little urban garden .

Even the narrow of garden space can be beautifully plant .

One of the best ways to use small space is to go up with climb vines . This wistaria ( Wisteriasinensis , zona 5–8 ) makes an unbelievable bounce exhibit with those long clusters of pay heed purple flowers . Do be warned that if you garden in a mood with hot summer , wisteria can be too strong-growing for a small garden , and it always require plenty ofpruningto keep it in impediment .

Nipponese maples(Acerpalmatum , Zones 5–9 ) fill a little seating domain with brilliant drop vividness .

I roll in the hay the multifariousness of colors and textures just from foliage in this planting .

This 60 - in planter is bolted to a Brobdingnagian blank outside wall . It is beautiful , and I love the subtle , complex color palette — very advanced and a great way of life to move around a blank rampart into a beautiful feature film .

Yellow - leaved bleeding heart ( Dicentraspectabilis‘Goldheart’Zones 2–8 ) steals the conniption here . The bright foliage almost seems to glow against the dark greens all around it .

A doubly - blossom orange tulip ( Tulipahybrid , Zones 3–8 ) is complemented perfectly by the reddish newfangled leaves of a Nipponese maple .

An recherche littleAnemonellathalictroides‘Shoaf ’s Double Pink ’ , Zones 4–8 . This little wildflower is aboriginal to forest across the easterly half of North America , but generally it just has five bloodless flower petal rather of the endless layer of pinko in this form .

Jen has made the most of this alleyway with Japanese maple , tulip , andgolden crawl Jenny(Lysimachianummularia‘Aurea ’ , Zones 3–9 ) .
