Gardens
Is your garden or outside space in need of some colourful autumn blooms? The HTA suggests planting Asters, as they flower pretty much up to Christmas. |
For small projects such as garden rooms, is it time to embrace the ground screw over concrete for the all important foundations? |
If your perennials are on their last legs, refresh your garden or outside space with berry laden shrubs that will give colour over the autumn and well into winter |
Not familiar with outdoor art and don't think pictures belong in the garden? well, Yorkshire's Insideout Garden Art begs to differ. So if you look out on an empty wall or fence, turn it into a gallery space! |
When it rains, vow to collect as much as you can of this precious resource that falls from the sky so you can use it to water the plants in dry times |
When the sun comes out, so must the outdoor rug...which will make your deck/patio/lawn look so much more inviting. Choose rugs made from recycled polyester or other plastic - they're great for impromptu picnics and summer gatherings, as well as for sunbathing on. And even the odd summer downpour won't hurt them... |
Keep your outside space in good shape by doing a little but often |
Organising outside space can seem daunting and one easy solution that's often overlooked is outdoor storage. So what are the options? |
..or at the very least save your food scraps and peelings for your local council to compost. So come on people, make 2024 your greenest year ever, which means getting a counter top bin for the kitchen - and a garden composter too if you have the space.
