You can make a garden in a small area, but it is not easy. There is a way to put your plants in a glass container or a terrarium, when the room for your garden is too small. If you plant herbs in a terrarium and grow them, it makes an attractive garden for indoors. When you do this type of garden, one advantage you have is not having to water the herbs that often, because moisture will be retained in an environment that is enclosed. You could use a large terrarium, such as an aquarium normally used for fish, or perhaps several smaller glass containers. When you are doing this kind of garden, it will be much easier to manage, when the herbs you are using are small. If you have a garden in your yard, a great way to make it more decorative is by adding a fountain. Fountains come in all sizes, shapes and materials. It can be the centerpiece of your garden, or it can be in a corner. Whatever theme you are using for your garden, you will want your fountain to fit in. Stone, fiberglass, wood and even other materials are used for making fountains. One advantage of fiberglass is that it's very durable yet much lighter than stone, making it easier to install and move around. You might rather invest in a stone fountain that is authentic, which will add a new dimension to your garden by being very elegant. In order to find the perfect fountain from all of the different types, you will have to start looking.

Another popular type of garden is the native garden for various reasons. Simply take plants in your local area and plant them in your garden. This is not as simple as it sounds, because many plants have been introduced from other places in the last few hundred years, but these still can't be considered native. This means that any plant brought in from Europe would not matter at all; you could only use North American plants in your garden. This type of garden is going to exclusively have plants from your area and no other. If you're interested in this, you'll have to do some research to find out which plants are truly native to your region. Creating a garden can be very fulfilling as long as you do it in a unique and enjoyable manner. Although you want to conform to the basic principles that are essential for growing plants, beyond this you are free to design your garden any way you want. You can look for inspiration in gardening magazines and websites, but don't be afraid to come up with your own original ideas either.
