DIY GARDEN IDEAS

Here are some DIY garden ideas to inspire you:

  1. Container Gardening

Container gardening is perfect for those who have limited outdoor space. You can use any type of container, from old buckets to ceramic pots, to grow a variety of plants. This method of gardening is also ideal for those who want to experiment with different plant combinations or those who want to move their plants around to find the perfect spot.

You can use good quality compost to give your plants every chance of success and we have so many options of flowers and vegetable seeds to choose from too.

  1. Vertical Gardening

Vertical gardening is a great way to maximize your space and create a stunning visual display. You can create a vertical garden by using a trellis, wall planter, or even a shoe organizer. This type of gardening is perfect for those who want to grow herbs, flowers, or vegetables in a small space.

  1. Fairy Garden

If you have younger kids in your life then Fairy gardens are a fun and whimsical way to add a touch of magic to your outdoor space. You can create a fairy garden by using small plants, miniature furniture, and fairy figurines. This type of garden is perfect for those who want to add a playful and imaginative element to their outdoor space. Kids will get great enjoyment out of looking at all of the small details and will help create new bits and bobs for the little people to use.

  1. Raised Bed Garden

A raised bed garden is perfect for those who want to grow vegetables or flowers in a small space. You can use a variety of materials, from rough sawn timber to railway sleepers or even concrete blocks, to create a raised bed garden. This type of garden is perfect for those who want to control the soil quality and drainage.

We even have ready built modular raised garden beds that are perfect for smaller balconies or anyone with restricted space available – you can check these out here.

  1. DIY Composting

You can easily create your own compost in your garden using a simple Composter. This will help reduce the amount of food and organic waste that you send to landfill and also provide nourishment for your new plants – a win all round.
