How can Patio Gardens turn your yard into another Room in your home?

Planting patio gardens is a great way to make your exterior space to have the look and feel of an indoor room. This can be done even if you have very little yard to work with or you just want to do some gardening on a small scale. When you plant a patio garden, you create an outdoor living space that will last you through the spring and summer seasons.

There are no specific rules to follow when it comes to planting patio gardens. This is because most patio gardens use a relatively small space; there really are no hard and fast rules. You can mix plants in containers and hanging baskets that normally wouldn't go together. You can plant vegetables right next to flowers and mix and match colors to satisfy your every creative desire. Anything you can think of can be planted.

However you need to take note of one important factor when creating the perfect patio garden. It is to create a feeling of walls with your plants. You need to line your patio with tall plants such as small trees or shrubs and plant some flowers, small vines or even vegetables against this backdrop. You can arrange pots in each corner using bigger pots in the back of the arrangement and smaller plants in front. When you mix the colors in a patio garden, you will create a stunning effect. It is also fun to grow unusual plants in containers. You can try to grow a blueberry bust in a pot and you can enjoy your daily breakfast on your patio complete with a handful of fresh blueberries added to your cereal. How wonderful is that when you have a patio garden?

Hanging baskets are the perfect complement to patio gardens. If your patio is covered, you have plenty of places to hang gorgeous baskets spilling over with color. Try to grow things in your baskets that are unusual, such as strawberries or tomatoes. You can even grow herbs such as parsley in a basket or plant morning glory seeds in a hanging container and watch them drape down the sides as they grow.

As you start to arrange your plants, you have to think where will be the best place to sit and enjoy the sight and scent of those plants. Once you have decided on the best place to enjoy your patio garden, place a table and chairs in that spot. Whether or not you are going to dine on your patio, it will be wonderful also to spend the summer evenings relaxing with a cool drinks and a good book while enjoy the sights of your patio garden around you.
