Mirrors: The secret to a big garden

There are a lot of tricks of the trade to make your garden seem more inviting. People can spend years studying the layout of flower beds to maximise their beauty, while others will move and remove shrubbery to make their garden as beautiful as possible. For lots of people, however, they simply do not have the time to commit to that kind of experimentation in their gardens. There are, thankfully, some very simple tricks you can use to change the look of your garden.

This one is particularly clever trick (and very generous of me to offer it to you all!) but mirrors are a cheap and clever way to to alter the look of your garden. By placing them in key locations in and around your garden you can actually use them to make your garden look bigger. By reflecting flower beds, trees and grass the overall size of your garden, and density of the flora in it, seems to improve.
