Hello,
I already started a thread with a similar title about the same garden, but that thread has disappeared. I can’t see it in the list or find it using the search function.
So here is my second attempt: it’s about a small garden measuring 6x7m (20x23 feet) with a bike shed. Therefore, there needs to be a path to the shed and from the shed to the house.
Inside the garden, I want to have herbs, dandelion, arugula, one or two small apple trees, a terrace with seating for four people, and if space allows, a lounge area.
Attached is an idea (Variant 2) where the terrace is directly next to the house and the lounge area is on the left side.
Variant 1 was the opposite, with the terrace on the left and the lounge area at the lower right next to the house.
I’m honestly unsure how to arrange such a small garden. Some advice has already been given suggesting to think more like balcony or (roof) terrace planning than traditional garden design because of the limited square meters.
If you have any further suggestions or tips, or want to point out any obvious planning mistakes, I would appreciate that.

Dandelion,HelloDandelions? You’ll end up cursing them. The only good thing about them is that you don’t have to plant them. They come to you.

Lettuce, strawberries, and similar plants can be grown in gutters attached to the shed, house wall, or terrace partition. For other edibles, a raised bed that is snail-proof is a good option. This also adds some structure. When planting, either consider the eventual growth or plant things densely from the start and see what thrives.
