Give Your Garden A Summer Makeover Without Breaking The Bank
Now that the winter blues are gone, it is time to prep up for the long and lazy summer days ahead. The most amazing thing about the season is that you get to stay outdoors and enjoy the evenings in the patio and garden. Who doesn’t love those barbecue dinners with family or the chance to simply lounge there and watch the gorgeous sunset with your partner? So your garden certainly deserves more attention right now and a summer makeover makes sense. And if you want to do it without breaking the bank, here are some tips to help.
Start with a declutter project
To start with, cleaning up your green space is a great idea to create a blank canvas for the makeover. A complete declutter is what you need to do first. Have a good look at the plants and remove the weeds and dead ones. Clear out the cracked and broken pots so that you have plenty of space for the new ones. Apart from the greenery check, collect everything you don’t need, pack them in a bag and dispose of them.
Color it up
A visual makeover for your garden this summer is all about making it colorful. Now that you have cleared the clutter, you will have plenty of space for new plants. Invest in the ones that are vibrant and colorful to give an aura to your outdoor space. And you can add more color by picking bright and beautiful pots for the new plants. What’s more, you may let loose the artist within and paint the old ones as well.
Create a comfy sitting area
This summer, you can pick some new chairs for the garden and create a comfy sitting area for lazy evenings. And it is easy to do this on the budget if you explore one of the Walmart flyer online. Shop in sales and you can find great outdoor stuff like chairs and cushions without digging a hole in your pocket. You will definitely love to catch up with friends and family sitting in the easy chairs while enjoying the cool evening breeze and the fresh smell of your garden.
Pick some bright lights
Outdoor fairy lights make a great pick to dress your garden this summer as they come for cheap and bring a pretty glow as well. Arrange them through shrubs and tree branches, suspend them from overhead pots and baskets and attach them to furniture and fences to create a heavenly place where you can spend the evenings. You need not even call the electrician as these lights can be easily run from a plug indoors.
Get creative and recycle
Recycling your old stuff is a great way to pep up your outdoor space without spending a fortune. Think about the old coffee mugs you aren’t using- you can grow small plants in them and create a vertical garden on one of the walls. Just being a little creative is all that you need to do for turning the old junk indoors into amazing treasures.
A makeover for your garden certainly doesn’t need much money, what it requires is a lot of creative thinking and a little effort!
