Sometimes, the only opportunity to experience any kind of nature here in Australia for many of us is in our own gardens. We lead such busy lives and so we never get time to venture out into the countryside and to enjoy everything that nature has to offer. This makes your garden a very important place therefore and so if you are fortunate enough to have one at the front or rear of your property then it’s time to start thinking outside the box and livening up what is otherwise a pretty boring space up until this point.
There are many things that you can do especially so if you are stuck for space like implementing a vertical wall garden so that you can have many different plants and flowers all growing together. This provides an excellent focal point within the garden space itself and it gives you more room to maybe plant some vegetables that you have promised yourself that you’re going to do for many years now. The following are just some of the top ways to liven up and add to your current garden space here in Australia.
- Keep an eye on the weeds – These have a great habit of taking over your garden and any other areas that are left exposed. The thing about weeds is that they need very little encouragement to get them started and they really do dig themselves in well so that they are difficult to remove. If you don’t remove these weeds as soon as they appear then they will stop the other things that you have planted from growing in the first place.
- Add some colourful flowers – It’s always wonderful to see lots of colour within your garden space and thankfully it is pretty cheap to buy seeds and bulbs that will flourish within your garden and provide you with lots of colours for many different times of the year. Talk to your local garden centre about when certain flowers like to grow throughout the year and you can easily map out from month to month so that you always have colour to enjoy.
- Invest in many pots – The wonderful thing about planting shrubs, small trees and flowers into their own individual pots is that they can be moved around the garden at your whim. It may be the case that you want to bring attention to that particular part of the garden because you have invited friends around for a barbecue and a few cold beverages. You can easily move your pots around to give some contrast to the area and to create some eye-catching spaces.
Don’t forget to plant those herbs, spices and vegetables that you’re always talking about so that you can actually enjoy the food that you grow yourself. There is no better feeling than cooking your own vegetables knowing that they came from your own garden. Try to create a more diverse area within your own garden to enjoy real nature.
