6 Tips and Tricks to Liven Up Your Garden

 

There are many ways to liven up your garden and give it a brighter look. Some of these ideas don’t demand a big budget. Moreover, you don’t even need a gardener for some hard landscaping. Our simple and quick tips, like moving the outdoor furniture to give a new take, repositioning the chairs and tables, help to spruce up your space. 

1.     Go for spring cleaning

Tidying up is beneficial for your garden, and it can take your space from drab to fab. Get rid of all the leaves and rubbish, remove the weeds and any unwanted plants. Wash grimy walls and neaten the edges to enjoy a more manicured appearance. 

2.               Bring in some colourful plant pots

Colour adds gorgeousness to the garden. Buy some pre-planted containers or plant up some of the summer-flowering bulbs and place them in your garden. 

3.               Accessorize and decorate

Outdoor living is a popular idea, and this is your time to adapt to the trend. Add some outdoor seating sets, water-resistant rugs, cushions, a garden umbrella, mirrors, and garden art. Installing a gas or electric heater will keep you snug and get more use of your outdoor space during the months of spring and autumn. 

4.               Spend on some fake foliage

While real plants look great, they demand maintenance and generally depend on the weather. Bringing in some items of fake foliage, such as fake long grass, shrubs, and topiary is a good investment. They appear realistic than before and keep your garden bright throughout the year. 

5.               Create a quiet corner

Create a feeling of peace, calmness, and wellbeing in your garden. Place a furniture set or a garden bench in one corner to create a quiet oasis, surrounded by potted plants and accessories. 

6.               Add a mirror

In a dark, gloomy corner, add a weatherproof mirror. This mirror helps to transform the place into a focal point instead of it being a place that had nothing worth seeing and was taken over by cobwebs. Mirrors also help to create the illusion of space.
