What it does
The Middle-Sized Garden publishes Alexandra Campbell's garden articles and videos. Its stated audience has gardens larger than a courtyard and smaller than an acre, with sections on borders, containers, design and wildlife.
The Middle-Sized Garden's scale gives its design material a useful frame. Narrow borders, screening, planting changes and garden rooms address decisions that can arise in an established domestic garden. Articles also discuss adapting an existing planting to weather extremes rather than beginning the whole garden again. Start with the physical constraint, such as a narrow border or limited screening, then use the relevant design or know-how section. Publication and update dates are visible, helping separate a seasonal task from a more durable design discussion.
