Gardening season is once again upon us, and the longer, lighter days of spring are giving a taste of the warmer summer days and nights soon to come. Whether you are a complete novice or a fanatic, there is no denying that almost anything you do, big or small, will make your garden a much nicer place to be for you, your family, and friends.
UK homeowners appreciate a well thought out garden. As a result, this can add value to the price of a home. Here are a few ideas to inspire you.
Let’s start with the basics
Enjoy the fresh spring breeze whilst keeping the grass trimmed, weeding the flower beds or patio, and painting any fences, sheds, or woodwork that need a new lease on life. If you do nothing else, these simple acts will make your home far more appealing.
Grow up!
If space is scarce and you have a small garden or balcony, consider growing up. Vertical gardens are on trend this year and will add colour, scents and flowers to an otherwise empty space whilst typically being low maintenance.
Growing your own flowers
An anticipated trend for 2023 is growing flowers you can arrange into your own bouquets. Choose easy-to-grow flowers such as sunflowers, marigolds, or hardy geraniums.
Meadows
Bright, colourful gardens with a little bit of everything will be seen across homes. Replace neat and trimmed lawns with the wilder look of meadows. That’s not to say you can't have some nice, neat, green grass and a herb garden too.
Furniture
Metallics, copper, and marble are desirable and on-trend ways to create an amazing place to sit and enjoy good company in the garden. Alternatively, keep it simple with wood. An understated bench or table using reclaimed wood can add something special without costing too much.
Outside storage
Practical storage is desirable when it comes to creating a good garden. Store everything from your tools to the fire pit you bring out at night.
