8 Amazing Garden Spaces You’ll Want For Your Home

Having a home garden has many benefits. They make your home look great, relieve stress and allow you to grow fresh fruits and vegetables on your own. Some homeowners go above and beyond by creating amazing garden spaces.

What makes a garden space amazing? Rather than having a regular old garden, imagine how amazing it would look with a koi pond. Or what if you had a window that made it easy to grow herbs and vegetables inside?

We’ll give you 8 amazing ideas that will take your garden to the next level. Let’s get started.

1. A Traditional Garden

There are many types of garden spaces and they can get really elaborate. When it comes down to it, a tried and true traditional garden is still one of our favorites. A small garden full of fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs is tough to beat.

You can put a traditional garden just about anywhere in your backyard. Whether it’s along the perimeter of your home, a fenced in area or most of your backyard, you can’t go wrong with a home garden.

2. Koi Ponds Create a Garden Oasis

A koi pond is an amazing addition to any garden – it’s like your own little oasis. Not only is it stunningly beautiful, but the calm sounds of water are enough to relax anyone after a long day of work.

Some homeowners don’t stop at just a koi pond. They go all out by making them have running water, waterfalls and small fish. While this elaborate set up requires more maintenance, there’s no arguing that it’ll make your garden space that much better.

3. Turn a Dog Run Into a Beautiful Garden

Some homes come with their own built in garden spaces. If you have a home with a dog run but no dog, use it for a garden. It’s the perfect place to care for your plants without the fear of them being trampled by your kids or their friends.

Plus, since most dog runs are gated, it’s easy to separate them from the rest of your backyard. No one will mistakenly walk through your garden thanks to the fence.

4. Why Have a Sun Room When You Can Have a Green House?

Many homeowners make additions to their home and one of the most popular ones is a sun room. There are so many ways you can use a sun room but one, often overlooked, way is to turn it into a green house.

Sun rooms are usually built with many windows so you maximize the amount of light that enters into the room. That means your plants and vegetables will grow beautifully in your sun room. Plus, your garden will flourish even in the dead of winter.

The key is to have high quality windows in your sun room. Without double/triple pane, argon gas filled, vinyl windows, you won’t be able to use your sun room as a green house. You won’t be able to easily manage the temperature in the winter without these highly insulated windows.

Also, make sure you know your window’s visible transmittance (VT). Visible transmittance is the industry standard measurement for how much visible light travels through your windows. Since sunlight is one of the keys to helping your plants grow, it’s no wonder VT is important for you to know.

5. Shoe Organizers Can Be For More Than Just Shoes

Have you ever seen a shoe organizer for a closet? It’s a long piece of cloth with pockets for you to slip your shoes into for easy storage. Did you know that a shoe organizer could be used for more than neat closet storage?

The pockets are actually the perfect size for plants. Think of these pockets like pots. Just pour a little soil into them and you can start a shoe organizer garden. It’s the perfect way to keep all of your plants separated from one another.

6. Keep Your Garden Inside with a Garden Window

Having an outdoor garden is great but what happens when it’s winter? Everything dies and you can’t grow anything until the weather gets better. Is there an easier way to have an indoor garden without needing to build an entire sun room?

There is and it’s called a garden window. Garden windows extend beyond the facade of your home. On each side, there are mini casement windows that you can open to help air circulate in your home.

Garden windows are extremely popular in kitchens for one huge reason – they allow you to grow small herbs and plants for cooking. Being a box of windows, you can rest assured knowing that your plants will get enough sunlight to grow. You also don’t have to worry about it getting too cold to grow your garden since everything is already inside. Plus, they’re easy to maintain, making them one of the most sought after garden spaces.

7. Window Boxes Allow You to Have a Garden Outside Your Window

Speaking of windows, many homeowners like to hang window boxes from their windows in order to grow small gardens right outside. They add a touch of color to your home that you wouldn’t be able to get any other way and will improve your curb appeal.

Having garden spaces right outside your windows makes them easy to care for. You can reach right outside and water them without having to go outside. It couldn’t be any easier than having a garden in a window box.

8. A Cozy Outdoor Fireplace Completes the Garden

This next idea is only for those who are looking for something more elaborate. If you spend a lot of time outside tending to your garden, you may want to consider adding an outdoor fireplace. You have two options: electric or gas.

Electric fireplaces are the cheaper and easier to use option. All you need is an outlet or source of electricity nearby and you’re good to go. While they don’t look as nice or produce as much heat as a gas fireplace, they’re still a great addition to your garden.

A gas fireplace is a little more difficult because you need to have a gas line nearby in order for it to work. If you do, then this is one of the most elegant additions to a garden.

There are So Many Cool Garden Spaces That Are Easy to Create
