How to Prepare Your Garden for Summer
As the warmer months approach, preparing your garden is crucial to enjoy lush, vibrant outdoor spaces throughout the summer. Here are some tips to get your garden summer-ready:
- Assess Your Garden: Early spring is the perfect time to evaluate your garden. Look for winter damage to plants, structures and hardscaping elements.
- Clean Up: Clear away dead foliage, weeds and debris to prevent pests and diseases. This also gives you a clean slate for new plantings.
- Soil Preparation: Enrich your soil with compost or well-rotted manure to ensure your plants have the nutrients they need to thrive.
- Plan Watering Strategies: Consider installing an irrigation system or water butts to collect rainwater, ensuring your garden stays hydrated during dry spells.
- Choose the Right Plants: Opt for drought-resistant plants if summer dryness is typical in your area. Incorporate a mix of perennials, annuals and bulbs for continuous colour.
Top Tips for Garden Design
Creating a garden that’s both beautiful and practical requires careful planning. Here are our top tips for garden design:
- Understand Your Space: Consider the size, orientation and soil type of your garden. Use this information to guide your plant and feature choices.
- Create Zones: Designate areas for dining, relaxation and play. This helps in organising your space and making it more functional.
- Incorporate Height: Use trees, tall plants, or structures like pergolas to add vertical interest and depth to your garden.
- Focus on Year-Round Interest: Choose plants that offer visual appeal across different seasons for a garden that’s always engaging.
- Think About Maintenance: Be realistic about the time you can dedicate to garden upkeep. Opt for low-maintenance designs if your time is limited.
