Narrow yards, patios trapped between two buildings and even the smallest of balconies can all become beautiful green spaces with a bit of planning. In the city, urban gardens play a major role in making a space more li- veable. Dear city dwellers, here are a few tips for transforming your surroundings into that green haven you’ve been dreaming of! • When space is scarce, every corner counts. Forget about traditional horizon- tal gardens, and focus instead on vertical planters. Flowerpots, trellises (on which you can hang pots or let plants climb), fences, shelves, vintage furniture, and even those ever-popular wooden pallets can serve as the foundation for your flower creations. • Mix and match planters of all colours and sizes. You can use these containers to grow your an-

nuals, perennials, vegetables, herbs and cacti (whichwill be thrilled to bask in the sun) as long as youmake sure they all receive the appropriate number of hours of sunshine. • Does your yard or balcony give directly onto your neighbour’s? You can delimit your space with a few fast-growing trees and shrubs. • Synthetic grass is an excellent option for city dwellers looking to add some green to their outdoor space. Furthermore, avoid cluttering your little oasis by choosing compact patio furniture. For more ideas on how to create your very own urban garden, don’t hesitate to seek ad- vice from a specialist at a garden centre near you, or contact a landscaping architect that services your region.
