With summer just a few months away, now is the perfect time to work on your garden. After all, this means that you will be able to optimise your enjoyment of your garden during the summer season, whether you’re hosting garden parties or simply trying to soak up some sunshine!
With that in mind, here’s a simple guide you can follow to transform your garden!
It’s normal for your garden to be a little overgrown by the time Spring rolls around due to the fact that you won’t make much use of your garden during the colder winter months. However, now is the perfect time to rectify this by tackling a messy garden.
Fortunately, there are many ways in which you can approach this task, such as:
Unfortunately, garden maintenance is not something you can complete once a year. It requires consistent work, especially if you want to create a picture-perfect outdoor space. As a result, putting together a maintenance checklist is crucial, as it can help you manage your time (and your garden) more effectively.
Your maintenance schedule may look something like this:
You don’t need to uproot your entire garden in order to drastically change how it looks. In fact, a few small changes are often all you need to turn an outdoor space from “blah” to brilliant. For example, you could install an outdoor fireplace in your garden.
Not only will this create an interesting focal point that contrasts nicely with plants, flowers and vegetation, but it will also allow you to make more use of your garden. After all, it means that you can spend time outdoors year-round, even when the weather is a little colder than you’d like. An outdoor fireplace will also come in handy when hosting dinner or garden parties, as it serves as the perfect backdrop to a sophisticated get-together.
Learning more about gardening is also key when it comes to transforming your garden, as it means you’ll know exactly what to do in order to create (and maintain) a thriving outdoor space.
For example, you may want to carry out research into local or seasonal plants and flowers. This way, you can create a low-maintenance garden that looks great all year round by changing up which plants and flowers feature in your backyard.
Alternatively, if you’re a complete beginner, you may want to research gardening tips and tricks that can save you a lot of time and energy. Taking some time to learn more about the basics of gardening can also help you avoid common mistakes that would impact how your garden looks!
