Tidy up your garden

First things first, it’s important to tidy up your garden. This includes removing any dead leaves or debris, cutting back overgrown shrubs and hedges, and mowing your lawn. A neat and tidy garden is the perfect canvas to add decorative touches to.

 

Create a focal point

Creating a focal point in your garden can add interest and draw the eye. This could be a water feature, a statue, or a colourful plant display. It’s also a great opportunity to add some decorations!

 

Provide seating areas

If you’re planning on hosting a garden party or having friends over, set up a picnic blanket, put out some garden chairs, or even create a cozy outdoor living space with sofas and cushions.

 

Lighting

As lighter nights are upon us, chances are you’ll be spending some time in your garden in the evening. Adding some lighting can create a warm and inviting atmosphere, whether it’s fairy lights, lanterns, or candles.
