Picture-Perfect Ideas for a Patio Garden
Outdoor living and Landscape Design can take many shapes and forms. From the expansive, sprawling country estate to the compact city lot, proper design and planning can make all the difference in the level of enjoyment the homeowner realizes with family and friends. This post from Better Homes and Gardens illustrates this point perfectly with this post on Patio Gardens. The post explains that outdoor living can be enjoyable even if you have no yard at all!

Even small trees look great in pots on a pretty patio. If the plants you want are really, really big, make sure they can stay outside year-round, or be ready to lug them in when the weather turns cold.

After that, you just need some fun finishing touches and your patio garden is ready to go. Pretty lighting like candles on the table, or a string of patio lights, and decorative planters or plant stands add to the warm and inviting atmosphere.
