More Ideas for the Narrow Garden Between Suburban Homes

Happy first day of spring! In today's post, I have fresh ideas for that long, awkward space
between suburban homes.
between suburban homes.
Create with a striking entrance to entice friendly visitors. A pretty gate also creates a bit of a mystery by blocking the view to the back garden.
Keep it neat and choose low maintenance plants. Who wants to try to manoeuvre a lawn mower in the tight area at the side of a house?
Create a path that is both attractive and comfortable to walk on. This even walkway will make it easy to roll bikes, wheelbarrows and recycling bins in and out of the backyard.
Make sure the view in the distance is attractive.
There is usually walls or fencing between suburban homes.
The area at the between houses is usually quite shady, so select plants that will thrive in shade or part shade.
Hang a decorative ornament to embellish a plain Jane fence. This faux window also brings the flowers up to eye level where you can appreciate them best.
