With the right plants, décor, and planning, even a tiny space can become a slice of gothic paradise.
And yes, it is an excellent setup to receive your Halloween visitors.

Step 1. The right plants
For a goth garden, opt for those with dark, rich tones, eerie shapes, or dramatic blooms. Here’s a list of plants that fit the aesthetic:
Dark Foliage
- Black mondo grass offers deep, almost-black foliage that adds an eerie atmosphere.
