Opening the doors of your home to mini gardens is never a bad idea, now is it? If you raised your eyebrows wondering where to place them, then worry not for homify has just the thing! Mini gardens can be constructed in almost no time at all with the simplest of all elements. The garden or outside space can be considered to be an extra room in your home. If you design your patio, garden or decked area well enough, you can enjoy the benefits all year around.

This article covers 10 inspiring miniature gardens that you can replicate in your homes. 

1. A simple garden in the patio

The patio of your house can house small pots and seedlings that add color to the region. You can simply remove a couple of tiles from the flooring adding pebbles and soil to it to allow for the growth of seedlings.

2. A curved garden

There is no hard and fast rule that specifies the shape of your garden. So be sure to bend and break the preconceived notions about gardens that you might have! Go for a curved border such as this one with rocks and plants within.

3. A corner garden

A corner garden resting upon the lawn is also a great idea to explore. With palm trees as accompaniment and grass you can make a neat little nook.

4. Different landscapes for the garden

5. An inner garden with a stone base

A garden can also be placed in the corners of your home instead of simply letting the space go to waste. Add in trees, shrubs, or any kind of grass to light up the area.

6. A stone garden

Well, stone gardens too count as gardens if you didn't already know! How about adding varied stones to the garden? You can experiment with colors, shapes, sizes and just about anything else you can think of!
