About In My Little Oasis
Short on space, not on ideas
In My Little Oasis is for anyone with a small outdoor space and a big wish to enjoy it: a narrow balcony, a shared patio, a townhouse yard or a few pots by the door. The aim is simple. Help you turn that space into a private, lived-in escape on an ordinary budget.
How the posts work
Ideas with the numbers attached
Every post starts with the decision you actually face, then gives you the numbers that make it work: how much room a chair needs when someone sits in it, how many hours of sun a plant wants, what a deck box usually costs, when to sow after your last frost.
If something needs a landlord’s OK, a permit or a professional, you will hear it once, plainly, and then get back to the good part.
Who is behind it
Hi, I’m Evan
I live in Finland, I’m a classically trained chef, and I have always been happiest making small spaces feel generous. In My Little Oasis is where that habit meets the garden: patios, balconies, privacy, cozy styling and practical gardening for people who are short on space, not on ideas.
