Gardening is a relaxing and rewarding hobby that many people enjoy getting into when they have the time, and if you are planning to move to a park home, here are some ideas with things that you can do in your garden to make it look great…
Use Pots – Pots are a fantastic way to add colour quickly and easily. They can also be moved around so you can make changes to the layout of the garden throughout the year. You can use pots in areas of the garden where space is more limited or where there is paving to keep it looking bright and colourful.
Make the Most of Vertical Space – Although park home gardens tend to be on the smaller side, by being creative with the space that you have you can get a lot into the garden. Using trellis, you can have climbing plants such as honeysuckle and clematis in the garden, and you can also get planters that are layered in levels which don’t take up much room on the ground.
Hanging baskets are also a great way to add more plants when you don’t have a lot of space at your disposal.
Add Ornaments – As well as plants, ornaments also give your garden character and there are so many to choose from! Whether you like the look of the traditional stone statues, or you like the fun looking ornaments like flamingos and of course the traditional garden gnomes, using ornaments creates interest in a garden and gives it personality.
Water features are another type of ornament that you can get to help to give your garden that tranquil feeling.
Create Raised Beds – Another great way to make the most of the space in the garden is by creating raised beds. As well as giving your garden beautiful blooms, they are also much easier to care for if you struggle with back problems, as you don’t have to get down so low to tend to them.
