Last time we featured an awkward shaped garden, that Successful Garden Design student Rebeca from Costa Rica had turned into a beautiful space after completing the Great Garden Formula course.

What can be done with such a small space garden?

Not content with tacking one tricky garden, she’s now done another one. This time it’s the size more than shape that’s hard to deal with.

Designing a tiny space garden

Rebeca came up with two great designs…

“I will tell you a little bit about the tiny space. It is a “indoor garden”, but before been a garden it has been just a open space without any use.

I made two design, one more straight and other with curves. The owner choose the curvy one, and we built that in two days (painting and putting the gravel).

It is not finished at all, because I am missing some decoration (focal points), but eventually It will have those.”

The best use of space in a tiny garden

Although both designs work well, the clear winner is the curved design because of the way the design makes the space appear larger.

Even though it’s not quite finished, you can see what a huge difference this design has made.

Now Rebeca has completed our pro-level Great Garden Formula course, she’s been busy designing other gardens for people professionally.

Here’s a sneak peek at what she’s been up to…

      Dear Rachel,

      it seems fabulous but there is so much to have done with this considering the possition of the space and connection to the house.

      Please let me express myself as all your work is very good and I love to see all the differences had been made. I wish to have more time to spend with the garden design, which hopefully I will get when children back school.

      Best wishes

      Best wishes,
