Micro Garden
Embodying the concept that big things come in small packages, the Micro Garden is nestled in a shotgun-style, narrow lot in the urban residential core of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. With space at a premium, the design of the Micro Garden required creative solutions. To maintain enough lawn for the family’s dogs, the long backyard was divided into a high intensity garden and open lawn space, with a small cedar fence reinforcing the division. Within the garden, natural stone was utilized to create a multifunction patio space for the homeowners to relax and entertain. Surrounded by custom privacy fencing and Spring Grove Arborvitae, the homeowners have planted a series of pollinator-friendly plantings and raised edible gardens, creating their own secret oasis in the middle of the city.
