If you live in a terraced house and only have a small space to try to create a garden you should not worry. There are many designs that can be incorporated into a small space, so if you need inspiration a few ideas are discussed below:

• Raised beds are a great way to divide your garden up into sections. They are also easier to weed and although they require a little more construction than standard ground level beds they are much easier to look after when they are built.

• A herb bed is always a great idea, or if you are feeling a little more adventurous a kitchen garden will provide you with home grown veg throughout the summer.

• Try to have some sort of sitting area so you can relax on hot summer days, you can get prefabricated stone circles quite cheaply from garden centres. They can provide a centre point for your garden and you can incorporate planting round it once it is laid.

• If you are on a budget, perennial plants will flower year after year so you will not have to go to the garden centre every year to buy new bedding plants.
