As you will see from the picture this is all about using mirrors in the garden. If you fix a mirror to a wall or fence in a small garden you will immediately make it feel larger. Mirrors can also be used to shed light on a dark corner and for a slightly different approach gazing balls can be a real feature in the landscape. If you need some inspiration on how you could use a mirror in your garden then read this article I found on the Garden Lovers Club website.

Looking to expand a small garden space or patio? Trying to figure out a way to dress up a boring fence or shed wall without having to put in hours of work? Have you considered a mirror? No? We?re glad you are here!
Mirrors can be a great ? and versatile ? addition to a garden. They can help to create an illusion of space in a small garden or add a simple decoration. When well-placed, a mirror can create a secret window into another world or at least it can look like it does!
A mirror can brighten up a shaded corner with reflective light or enhance a visually stunning garden design. Think outside the box even and include mirrors in an unexpected way (we have some great examples!). Mirror balls are an easy way to incorporate a mirror into any garden design, but mirror fence ? that?s unexpected!
