How can we best design the garden to make it appear narrower and deeper than it actually is? The garden is completely flat and gets sun all day long. It is surrounded by a wire mesh fence, but through the fence we have uninterrupted views over open fields.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Plant all the plants and flowers and whatever you want in your garden into long side of the garden... Like with sides to 22meters. By which your garden will get a long narrow shape of 22 meters long and 14 meter wide... Make footpath in center of it for walk... This will provide you ease to walk in and check each and every thing easily.
