There are many patio garden design ideas and tips that you can utilize to turn your small patio into a beautiful mini-garden. Get started right away using these great tips.

1. If you can't go wide, go tall. If you have an overhang above your patio or balcony, place hooks that you can hang beautiful flowers and plants from above. There are some incredibly beautiful ivys and flowers that are meant for hanging baskets. They will hang down and fill the space with peaceful greenery.

2. Stick a cool chair in the corner or the patio and place a flowerpot on it. With such a small space, keep your seating area simple.

You can't go wrong with wrought iron in your garden design, this is a great choice. A small wrought iron chair with a fluffy cushion would be a perfect addition.

3. Purchase some tall plant holders and place them at the back of the patio. These will look great filled with bright flowers and greenery. Have several in different heights, then tier them giving a full floral effect.

4. Every garden needs a fountain, you can purchase a small one for the outdoors. It can be a tiny battery operated one, it doesn't matter.It doesn't matter if it is one you plug in or just runs on batteries.
