1 PICK UP SOME READY-TO-GO PLANTS
If you want instant color, start browsing online and checking those plant catalogs for inspiration. Choose fuss-free plants that can go in the garden now and as soon as the weather gets warmer they will romp away.
2. SPRUCE UP DULL BOUNDARIES
It’s time to think about updating that tired fence or washed out wall, so why not opt for something fresh by choosing an on-trend shade? The Pantone official paint color of 2024 is Very Peri, already a big trend in interiors. Falling somewhere between a violet and blue shade, it creates an eye-catching pop of modern color.
3. SWITCH UP YOUR CONTAINERS
Container planting is the focal point of small spaces like balconies, terraces, roof gardens and courtyards. It’s a chance to have some fun and reinvent your outdoor space a little every year.
4. PLAN YOUR SUMMER BORDER SCHEME
Modern garden border ideas are the focal point of every well-designed garden, drawing the eye with a pleasing combo of color, shape and texture. It's all in the planning and thinking ahead though so there's no better time than now to jump on this.
5. START YOUR VEGETABLE PLOT NOW
Make this the year you nail the art of growing your own vegetables. After all, growing your own fresh, organic produce is all very doable. Start ordering from seed catalogs as you can sow some varieties of vegetable seeds now, either indoors on a warm windowsill or outdoors covered with cloches or fleece.
