We spend so much time decorating our homes, but it’s easy to forget the garden. You wouldn’t leave a bedroom to rack and ruin, would you? Treat your garden the same! Think of redesigning your garden as another chance to imprint your mark on your home. Getting creative in the garden can be an excellent way to design in a new way. Instead of seeing your garden as an inconvenience, take the time to enjoy it. Gardening can be a lot of fun. The process of growing plants may be a slower one than your regular decorating job, but it’ll be worth the effort. So, what can you do to make your garden your own?

FLOWERS
The flowers you choose will be the most noticeable thing in your garden. Pick a color palette that reflects your personality. You could tie your garden to your home by choosing similar colors for both. Planting flowers in set color groups can be an excellent way to tie your garden together. There’s something neat about a color coded flower bed. Of course, a multi-colored garden has its charms too, if that’s what you’re after. Going crazy with the colors can create a garden anyone would want to get lost in.
SHEDS AND GREENHOUSES
Sheds and greenhouses can be a great addition to any garden. As you get more green fingered, you’re going to need to stock up on some gardening gear. A shed will offer the perfect place to store your tools without a mess. This is also great for keeping your tools in top condition. Don’t leave them out in the rain to rust! A greenhouse is a must if you’re planning to grow your flowers. Keeping them in the greenhouse as they grow will make the process a lot easier. This is also a sure way to keep your garden cleaner. Don’t leave pots all over the place! Take some time to decide which greenhouse is right for you. You could go for a wooden lean to greenhouse, or something with an aluminium frame that will look after itself. A little research will lead you to the right choice.
PATIOS
If you can’t see yourself getting into that garden spirit, why not transform your garden with a patio? It can be a shame to lose the greenery. Be realistic, though. If you’re not the gardening type, it’s unlikely you’ll take the time to get the greenery looking good. A patio will allow you to enjoy a hassle-free garden. Patios are great if you intend to entertain. Look at patio furniture and hold your next dinner party outside as soon as the weather’s good!
LIGHTING
Again, this is for those who’d like to use their garden as an entertaining space. Having lighting installed will ensure you can enjoy your garden, even after dark. There are so many lighting options available for that outside space. You might be after low light for an ambient atmosphere, or something brighter. Take a look at what’s available.
