There is nothing quite like the peace and serenity of sitting in your garden in the summer. You can relax on a chair, feel the warmth of the sun on your face and take in the sounds, smells and beauty of the nature around you. Yet too often, the garden is a project that’s abandoned or shunned in favor of other tasks that need doing in the house. By the time you get around to doing it, it’s a rush, or you’re uninspired and don’t quite know where to begin. Luckily it’s easy to spruce up your summer garden and these gardening tips can help you get a headstart.
How to achieve the ultimate summer garden
Start sooner rather than later
If you live in New England, summer is already well on its way and so you want to start sprucing up your garden before the heat gets too unbearable. Do some research into what to plant in June and the different care your plants will need. The planting time might be too late for some to bloom in time for summer, whereas for others it can be the optimum month to flourish.
Consider the different areas and how you will use the space
You should think about dividing up your garden into different areas depending on how they will be used. You’ll want a space to put a flat surface for a table and chairs, you might want an area to grow fruits and vegetables, and you might want a space for your plants. Think about if you want flower beds all around the edges of your garden, or only in some of it. You also want to keep in mind where gets the sun for most of the day and take this into account. If you’re a sun-worshipper that wants to make the most of the rays, put your chairs in a spot that makes the most of this.
Think about the lighting
As well as the natural elements that make your garden, you want to add in some lighting and other decorative elements. These can really pull it all together and add in your own personality as well as highlight certain parts of the space. Solar lights are a good idea as they can power up during the day and provide great lighting during the evening. You could also add in wind chimes, an outdoor rug, a water fountain and more to improve the space.
Hire a landscaper
The best thing to do when looking to spruce up your summer garden is to hire a landscaper. They know just what your garden is missing and how to optimize the space you have. They can advise on all the best tips and take away the hard work. This leaves you to just enjoy the space and have the best summer at home that you possibly could.
