If there is one place in the home that people like to upgrade in time for the warmer weather, it's the garden. Going from so-so to sensational doesn't happen overnight, but it is something that you can do to create a fantastic garden before the summer is indeed in full swing. There are plenty of bright ideas out there to help you to transform your garden, and we've put some of those ideas together right here.
Think Bigger
It doesn't matter what size your garden currently is, you can instantly make your garden feel more mature and established with a large tree or shrub. Ideally, you should go for the biggest that you can afford for the size of your garden. Wholesale nurseries often offer excellent discounts on shrubbery in full flower.
Create A Focus
One of the loveliest way that you can add something sensational to your garden is with Kelkay water features. You can be as grand as you like, with a Tuscan Pour inc LED Kelkay EasyFountain, which can give your garden a little Mediterranean flavour, or you could go smaller with a much lighter water feature.
Either way, a robust feature will immediately draw the eye and impress your guests, while upping the ante on how amazing your garden looks. You could go for the water features with Kelkay, and you can complement those with planters with brightly coloured blooms and foliage.
Break It Up
Some gardens are extensive and don't look anything other than boring, like a blank canvas. However, you can create "rooms" in your garden with low fences and trellis. These can mark off what you're planting, from flowers to vegetables and fruits, and they can also give you a chance to plant bold coloured flowers.
If you're feeling genuinely creative, create a rainbow of colours throughout your garden and go from the top to the bottom of the rainbow in sync. Of course, this is a little more maintenance than most garden features, but it's worth it for a space that you can create for yourself.
Add Flavour
Taking advantage of your space by planting a huge amount of fruit and vegetables. You could have everything from runner beans and French beans to spinach and rocket. Mark the garden out properly, and you can have some of the freshest food, picked from the space that you own.
Herb Gardens
If you buy a lot of herbs regularly and you find that you're throwing away the pre-chopped packets, why not buy growing herbs that you can plant and watch grow? You could mark out an area of the garden and plant these herbs from the supermarket, and then you can watch them thrive. Water them when you remember and have them in the sunlight, and you've got fresh herbs to pick from whenever you're putting together a delicious meal.
Your back garden is supposed to be a space of calm, and if you can add new things to transform it into a sensational space in which to relax, it's time to go for it.
