April may bring rain or shine, but whatever the weather, it’s the ideal time to get planning your garden, and we have plenty of inspiration packed into this issue. But if you have a small space – where to start? Most new homes come with very small gardens compared to those of the past, which can make planning what to grow – and where – all the more challenging. But by focusing your mind on what you want from your space, however modest, you can create a garden you love. We have all the tips you need in our lead feature.
There are also small garden design ideas aplenty in our three garden tours. Dainty tulips that celebrate the season without dominating a space, and a beautiful hanging basket project that lets you grow a tasty combination of strawberries and nasturtiums – all ideas that are brilliant for any garden.
