Slotting in a Side-Yard Garden of Bounty and Beauty

Continuing to share garden inspiration, it’s nice to know that you don’t need a lot of space to create a welcoming, bountiful, beautiful spot.  The garden featured today was tucked into a side yard of an apartment building measuring approximately 20′ x 30′.

A raised bed hosts most of the edibles, with tomatoes, lettuce, and basil. The cucumbers are trained to go up small trellis pitched at an angle towards the fence line to maximize space.

A lot of the rest of plot has potted plants ranging in sizes from barrels to buckets. A bush variety of raspberry in a container provides light snacking in the middle of the space. The raspberries are complimented by a bright flower.

A perched outdoor fire pit creates a nice spot for communing in the evening, and roasting the occasional marshmallow.
