• Your garden can be a peaceful retreat from the chaos of everyday life. Create a special spot in your garden such as a bench or a hammock where you can relax and unwind.

• Pollinator gardens are designed to attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects to your garden. They are not only beautiful but also help to support local ecosystems.

• If space is limited, a container garden is a great way to grow plants and flowers. Use pots or containers of various sizes and shapes to create a beautiful and unique garden.

• Check your local social media for garden-themed events. These can include garden tours, workshops and plant sales.

• Creating a vertical garden is a great way to maximise space and add visual interest to your outdoor space, using trellises, hanging baskets or wall-mounted planters will create a stunning display.

 

 

• Herbs are easy to grow and can add flavour and freshness to your meals. Plant some herbs in your garden or in pots on your windowsill and enjoy the last of fresh herbs all season long

• Invite your family and friends over for a garden-themed party, serve garden-fresh foods, play garden themed games and enjoy the beauty of your outdoor space together.

• A water feature can add a calming element to your garden, it also attract birds and other wildlife adding to the natural beauty of your outdoor space.

• Composting is a great way to reduce waste and create nutrient rich soil for your garden.
