Ad {collaborative} As summer fast
approaches, the time is coming to dig out your flip flops and get
your garden ready to some great fun in the sun with your family.
After a long period without care and attention, tackling your garden
may be a daunting task. However, there are many ways you can get it
looking ship shape and ready for BBQ season to get well under way!
With a little bit of hard work and creativity, a garden of any
condition can be converted into an outdoor haven that has the same
comfortable feeling as the inside of your home.
Tackle The Greenery
When you finally wave
goodbye to winter, you begin to see the damage that the bad weather
has done to your garden. Overgrown grass that’s turning brown, an
excess of weeds popping up left, right and centre, and any hope of
colour or beauty out of sight. One of the first things to do is
switch on your lawn mover and remove everything that stands in your
way. Cut your grass down as low as you can (as it will grow back very
fast) and use a strimmer to rid your garden of any pesky weeds or
overgrown shrubs or bushes. It’s a great idea to buy some flowers
to plant or some seeds to grow yourself, as the pop of
colour can brighten up the whole garden and make it feel more homely
immediately.
Invest In Some
Accessories
When you’ve managed
to find the floor, it’s time to invest in some suitable accessories
if you don't have them already. Find the BBQ and put it back where it
belongs, and get a table and chairs or a picnic bench of some kind to
eat meals outside. If you’re planning to eat in the garden
regularly, it may be an idea to get some citronella candles to keep
away any bugs and flies. Install some lighting such as solar powered
lanterns or fairy lights so you can enjoy your garden in the later
hours too. If your family take an interest in gardening or perhaps
want to try and grow some fruit and vegetables of their own, visit
Greenhouse
Stores to find some beautiful potting sheds that make
a great addition to any garden.
Invite The Whole Family
When you’ve got
everything set up and ready, it’s time to invite the whole family
around! Add a few extra chairs and cover them with some blankets for
the kids as the night draws in, and get the designated ‘griller’
to assume their position. A garden party or summer BBQ is a great way
to fully enjoy your garden whilst making the most of the sun with
your family and friends around you.
It’s easier than you
might think to create a beautiful
garden for your whole family to enjoy. Dedicate a day
or 2 to get it back to its former glory, and you will all be able to
reap the benefits for many months afterwards.
