It is great to have a garden. For kids, having access to a private outdoor space is very beneficial. Numerous studies show that spending time outside playing is good for their physical, mental and emotional health.
So, if you have a garden it makes a lot of sense to make the most of it. Installing some outdoor lighting can really help you with this. Potentially, you and your children will be able to spend every evening in the garden.
There’s something really satisfying about growing stuff but when that “stuff” is food, it’s even moreso. Growing your own vegetables is not only satisfying but it’s also part of a really healthy lifestyle. If you’re serious about growing your own vegetables the best way to do so is a purpose made polytunnel. Polytunnels are vital in protecting your precious crops from the elements whether this is rain, snow, wind or just very low temperatures.
Your garden is an important part of your home. It is a place that not only your entire family can use, but it is the part of your home that can often be seen from the outside. One of the only downsides about gardens is that they come in a variety of shapes and sizes, which means that whilst some have plenty of space, others can feel a little short.
The thing to remember when it comes to your garden is that style doesn’t have to be linked to space. In fact, there are a number of garden design styles that you can choose which are ideal for a variety of gardens.
When planning a new patio it is best to consider the colour scheme beyond just the colour of the paving slabs. If you want a patio garden, then you will need containers to grow plants in. Try to be sure that you can obtain containers or planters which blend well with the colour of the slabs. For example, light brown paving slabs above may look very nice, but are not so easy to blend in naturally with surroundings, or find complementary planters for.
If you struggle to find enough space in your home, then you’re not alone. Many of us struggle to live comfortably within our homes, especially with a growing family. If you’ve got to the point where your home is feeling more like a storage facility and you’re struggling to enjoy family time, you may be considering your options. But if moving or carrying out major expansion work are out of the question, then what can you do to increase living space?
A conservatory can increases the size and value of your home, offering a unique space that can be used for a number of purposes. Conservatories can be used as living rooms, dining rooms, reading rooms and even as gyms. They are used a lot by all the members of the family and therefore, you must make necessary efforts to protect them against accidents and the wear & tear that time brings.
It might seem a crazy idea to spend time sitting in the garden when the misery of the winter weather is upon us. But, with these simple ideas, you can enjoy the winter and your garden, a unique but still beautiful environment.
As soon as October ends, we retreat indoors. And no wonder, the gloom, the grey overcast skies, the rain, the wind and the dark evenings force us to retreat to the warmth of the living room.
Well, winter is here once more, and if you’re like me you might just be staring out at your garden longingly, wish you could get your hands dirty. While winter is never the right time to start gardening and sink your hands into the soil, this doesn’t mean you can’t think about what you’re going to do to your garden. We’ve got some great ideas too and ways that you can certainly make your neighbours more than a little jealous.
So, the nights are drawing in, it’s pretty dark when you get the kids up for school and the temperature has definitely dropped a few degrees! We all know how to get our homes feeling cosy and warm, whether it’s bringing down all the extra throws and blankets from the loft, buying some new rugs or investing in a new kettle for all the hot drinks we’re going to enjoy!
But what about your garden?
Your garden is somewhere you go to relax and unwind – the beauty spot of the house. But could your garden be harbouring an extremely hazardous material?
