Spring is a time for new beginnings, and there's no better way to celebrate the season than by getting your garden ready for the warmer months ahead. This includes decluttering and organising your outdoor living space, weeding and mulching the soil, planting new flowers and plants, and making sure any outdoor furniture or equipment is in good condition.
Declutter and weed the garden
One of the most important steps to having a spring-ready garden is decluttering and weeding. This means getting rid of any dead plants, debris or clutter that's been collecting over the winter. Weeding is also important, as it will help to remove any unwanted plants or grasses that are taking up space in your garden.
Once you've decluttered and weed your garden, you can then move on to mulching. Mulching helps to protect the soil from being eroded, and it also helps to keep the moisture levels stable. You can buy mulch from your local garden centre, or you can make your own by using compost, leaves or bark.
Plant new flowers and plants
When it comes to planting new flowers and plants, there are a few things you'll want to keep in mind. First, be sure to choose plants that are compatible with the climate and soil type of your area.
There are many different types of flowers and plants to choose from, so take your time and select the ones that best suit your taste and needs. Also, make sure to read the instructions on the plant label carefully, as some plants may require special care or maintenance. If you're not sure which plants to choose, consult a local garden centre or nursery for advice.
Once you've chosen your plants, it's time to start planting! Use a trowel or spade to dig a hole in the soil big enough for the plant's root ball, then place the plant in the hole and fill in with soil. Be sure to water the plant well after planting.
Furnish and decorate your outdoor living space
One of the most popular choices for outdoor furniture is wicker. Wicker is weather-resistant and can withstand a lot of wear and tear. It also comes in a variety of styles, so you can find the perfect set for your space. Another popular option is patio furniture sets made from wood. These sets are often more expensive, but they are also very durable and can last for many years.
If you're looking for something a little more casual, you could choose to decorate your outdoor living space with cushions, rugs and throws. This will add comfort and style to the area, and it can be changed out whenever you want a new look.
Whatever furnishings and decorations you choose, make sure they are weather-resistant and durable. This will ensure that they last through all of the seasons and that you get maximum enjoyment from them.
