I've got a small garden too!! And I love it. My best advice is not to neglect your walls and fences. I had and am having loads of fun with hanging baskets, pots screwed into the fence, and succulent 1/2 orbs hung on my fences.
Another thing I'm trying this year is garden mosaics, a nice backdrop to plants, you can use natural materials or broken pots etc for all year round colour. Great fun.
How about a small tree in a pot, like a cherry tree (dwarf variety) or Acer, etc... Would be a good way to add structure and hight. If you don't want to spend too much you would obviously need to buy a young plant so it may take some years before creating an impact. I have a cherry tree in a pot and I love it.
Gareth I'm looking for a dwarf cherry tree 2 actually 1 in pot 1 in groud what type best and where from? Would 1 in ground stay small? Want that maybe 5ft tall;

Have fun!
Thank you Dave. The pictures look great. Birlliant idea's. I like the idea of bamboo, but do you think it would look OK against a clematis?

Thank you Tilley, I like the idea of putting some pots on the fence. I could maybe put some herbs in smaller pots.

Thanks Gareth, I am really like the idea of growing fruit in my garden and I didn't know you could get dwarf Cherry Trees. I will have a look at that.
