SMALL BUT LOVELY: DIY landscape design ideas for small spaces

September 16, 2011 By Christiane Holmquist 2 Comments

Replace the lawn with a pond for greater entertainment

The pond is the focal point of this small back yard

Good things come in small packages!

I invite you to my upcoming class at the  Water Conservation  Garden in El Cajon next Saturday. Learn how to create a sparkling jewel of a landscape for your condominium, cottage, side yard, or smaller front or backyard.

I will share important principles of design to consider before beginning your project, show you inspiring visual examples of completed projects, and answer your questions about how to make the most of your small space garden.

This class will also be helpful for people wanting to divide larger landscape plans in to manageable sized projects.

Saturday September 24, 2011,   10am – 12 pm.

“Our garden is wonderful. I find being in the backyard incredibly peaceful and rejuvenating. The bamboo is thickening out nicely too, so the privacy is almost complete.”

"Christiane, your design is beautiful. Viewers love the design and color. Thank you so much for all your support while the project was being developed. It would have been more stressful for me had you not held my hand regularly.”
