In outdoor garden design, the side garden often plays a quiet role – a neglected space waiting to be enriched with recycled or junk items. However, it holds the potential to become a fascinating retreat, an outdoor sanctuary that complements your lifestyle. You can design a narrow path decorated with lush greenery leading from your front yard to a hidden garden corner, or make use of the space by creating a vertical garden.
To prevent your side yard from becoming a neglected, muddy eyesore, get inspired by these beautiful side garden ideas in this article.
