Be Water Conscious
The start to winter is still a time when our garden needs a plentiful amount of watering, as it needs to recuperate from the warm summer season. Watering your plants at the correct time is one of the key steps. Excessive watering can drown a plant’s root system and watering in the middle of a hot summer’s day can in fact cause the foliage to burn. So, aim to water your garden in the evening a few times a week to reduce evaporation and ensure the soil contains vital moisture.
Pretty Pots
Most gardens can be a little on the green side. To spruce up your garden’s aestheticism consider adding some colour into the space. One of the easiest ways to do this is by investing in some statement pots. Crimson, berry and ochre tones should be on the list of colour choices, as these shades will contrast perfectly with green vegetation.
Edible Accents
Lots of gardens these days are predominantly just for show, but regardless of spacing, everyone should try to have a little veggie patch handy. Complementing your cooking, there is an abundance of edibles that are practically perfect. For apartment balconies, herbs are the ideal option, whereas those with a backyard should consider planting some beetroots, strawberries or red chard.
Stylish Succulents
Still in fashion is the fabulous variety of succulents – the perfect plant for when time is of the essence and you are unable to consistently attend to the garden. Idyllic for busy parents, workers or seniors who do not have the necessary energy, succulents are definitely edgy in terms of outdoor design. With its hardy temperament and extensive range of selections in different colours and sizes, now is the time to get your hands on these plants.
