20 Ideas to Decorate Your Garden


Does your garden look messy? Would you love to hire a landscape architect but you can’t afford it? If you answered yes to both questions, you’re in the same position I am.
I decided to be my own gardener. I don’t want fancy arrangements that require regular maintenance work. I just want my garden to look neat, to be a place where my friends and family love to relax.


Since I did the brainstorming for my garden decoration, I want to share my ideas with you. Some of them will never pass the idea stage, but I do hope to implement a few of them. Photos will follow as I advance with my work. If you have more ideas, you are welcome to add them in the comments.

As much as I love grass, it’s not practical for me to give up paths. It rains a lot here, so no paths mean either getting messy or not walking in the garden at all during rainy days. I only want to have one main path from the gate to the house. For the rest of the garden, I’ll use stepping stones. I found some awesome ones here.
