There is something special about receiving a bunch of flowers. Whether it is a few daisies collected from the lawn and given to you by your child. A bouquet of flowers for your birthday or anniversary. Or even that reduced bunch that you found smiling at you in the supermarket as you hastily gathered last minute milk and bread supplies.
It’s summer and with summer come great ideas for home improvements. One of the best ideas for the summer is fixing up your patio, deck or veranda into a little piece of paradise where you can relax and not think about work problems.
Even though people believe it is very expensive, with some careful planning and budgeting, you can do it done fairly cheaply and still be happy with the results.
One of the things that all of the children seem to love is helping Mr. Boo when he completes the gardening chores. From collecting the weeds he has pulled up, holding the garden bin as he empties the grass cuttings etc. Whilst there are a number of chores they can assist with, mowing the lawn isn’t.

There are lots of things that you can do with a small garden to create an intimate, warm, and inviting place for you and your family to relax.
