Layered Flower Beds: Depth and Dimension

Creating layered flower beds is another effective strategy for small gardens. By planting taller species at the back and shorter ones at the front, you can create depth and the illusion of a larger space. This technique not only maximizes the use of space but also enhances the visual appeal of your garden. Layering can be achieved with a variety of plants, including perennials, annuals, and shrubs, ensuring year-round interest. According to Better Homes & Gardens, layering plants by height and texture can significantly enhance the aesthetic value of a garden³.
