North-facing gardens get a bad rap – they're typically a lot more shaded than other garden aspects, which can make things tricky for plants that enjoy plenty of sunshine.

So many small garden ideas can be applied to north-facing gardens, for example, where space and light are at a premium. It's just about choosing the plants, colour schemes and designs that complement a shadier space instead of subtracting from it.
