A beautiful garden adds quality and beauty to the house. It is also pleasing to the senses. Here are some tips to follow to make your garden come alive with flowers and greenery, chirping birds and wonderful fragrances.
Flowers
If you are aiming to add more color to your garden, having more flowering plants is the best option. Always choose more than one species of plant and go for a variety of colors. These plants don’t always need to be ornamental. There are some herbs and vegetable plants that will also yield beautiful flowers. Some such crops are sweet potato, carrot, onion, and lemon. Many professional gardeners would advise you to select a combination of annuals and perennials, as this way you would have a variety of flowers in your garden from time to time. You will also have at least one type of flower blooming at any time.
Weed Control
One thing that will dampen the quality of your garden is weeds. If you are negligent of the condition of your garden, weed growth will increase and can even reach the point where they will become hard to get rid of. These plants may even act as parasites to the plants you want in the garden, hindering their growth and absorbing their nutrients. Make sure you check the condition of the garden once in a while and look for any unnecessary growth among your plants. Smaller weeds can be removed by hand. For others, you can use a hoe or a chemical product.
Garden Art
Garden art is the ornamental accessories that you can have as additional decorations in your garden. These little items can be used to make your garden look homelier and personalized. You can choose hanging-planter sets, garden lights, fairy lights, statues, gnomes, obelisks, and wind chimes. You can even install a fountain or a pond to give it a more elegant look. Look for park furniture Brisbane and add a bench or two so you will have a place to sit and relax. Birdbaths are also a good décor item to have especially if you love the company of birds and love to listen to their chirping.
Be innovative
There is more than one way to grow your plants and plan your garden. You can hire a landscape designer if you want a methodical layout designed before you set to work in the garden. Don’t always use pots and vases. Make the maximum use of the waste from your kitchen and use empty cans, glass bottles, broken mugs and glasses, buckets and baskets to display your collection of plants. Especially if you are planning to add fairy lights, using jars to display them is a good option. When using these containers for plants, painting them in a variety of colors is another way to give a dynamic look to the space.
Before adding any of these items, if you are planning a new garden or redecorating your garden, it is better to make a list of things that needed to be done and plan them out methodically before implementing them. Remember to keep the garden clean too.
