If you’re new to caring for an outdoor space, you might wonder
when
to start
gardening. The best time to assess the state of your garden after winter is between late
winter
and early
spring. Think of it as a little health-check for your plants before they bloom again. To
do so,
you may simply
follow our spring gardening tips:
- Begin with a general clean-up. Your planters and garden beds might
need a
plant debris cleaning.
Make sure you remove any fallen leaves and branches to tidy up your green space.
- Check the state that your plants are in. The cold winter weather can damage your
plants, so
springtime is
the right time to replant them. The soil you’re using needs to be rich enough in
nutrients
to help your
plants thrive, so you might want to test its quality. Afterwards, we recommend feeding the
soil
with whatever
organic materials it needs, such as fertiliser or compost.
- Prepare your garden for spring by pruning and trimming everything that has been
affected by
snow or ice.
Each gardening season starts with a bit of maintenance to allow your plants and trees to
come
back to life. For
this task, you’ll need to research the pruning methods that apply to your plants and
use
proper gardening
accessories.
- Don’t forget about hardscaping. High temperature differences might cause your
stepping stones to
move, so remember to level them out. Check your fences, raised beds, and walls for damages
and
fix them. The
sooner the better, as all this work should be done before your plants start blooming. For
a
truly fresh start,
you might want to apply a new coat of paint to your fences. Get your whole family involved
and
make the most out
of a fun activity outdoors!
💚 How to Decorate Beautiful
Spring
Gardens
After preparing your garden for spring, when all your plants and
trees are
happy and
ready to come back to life, it’s time for a setup makeover. Have you been storing
your
home garden
furniture during winter? If that's the case, you might want to take it out, clean it, and
check
its condition
before putting your spring outdoor décor in place.
Or you might want to freshen up your garden décor instead with
some
new
furniture. The first thing to think about is the space that you’re working with and
how
you’d like
to spend your time outdoors. All spring gardens look lovely and make us want to slow down
and
enjoy leisure time
in the fresh air. But keep in mind, your spring outdoor décor has to also be
practical
and cover your
needs.
🪑 What are some of the best spring outdoor décor
solutions?
Bistro sets, for example, are great for smaller outdoor areas such as
balconies and
patios. Elegant and nostalgic, this piece of furniture has a romantic design that
highlights the
natural
setting. A bistro set might be the perfect place for lazy breakfasts or catching up with
friends
over coffee.
If you own a spacious garden, we recommend having a look
at
different outdoor
furniture
sets. You might want a lounge set next to the pool, for
example, or reclining chairs
under your biggest tree. Those who enjoy social gatherings or having family meals in the
garden
should put
outdoor dining sets on their shopping list. Getting a set rather than buying chairs and a
table separately
is the simplest and quickest way to design a dining area.
When deciding on you outdoor décor for spring, know that small
details go a long
way in decorating a cosy and inviting space. All you need to do is figure out your
favourite
style and find the
right accessories that emphasise the natural beauty of your garden.
