The number one mistake in small gardens: too much variety, not enough repetition.
When every plant is different the eye doesn't know where to rest.
The fix:
→ Choose 3 to 5 plants you love and repeat them throughout
→ Use variety as an accent, not the foundation
Repetition creates rhythm. Rhythm makes a small space feel calm and intentional.
