Making the Most of Your Garden Throughout Spring and Summer

Many people find it difficult to make the most of their gardens. 

This can be due to the weather conditions or simply not having enough time to spend on maintenance throughout the warmer months, but there are so many ways in which you can enjoy your garden and really make the most of it throughout the spring/summer months.

Embrace Alfresco Dining
One of the best ways to really enjoy your garden and make the most of having some private outdoor space is to enjoy some alfresco dining. There are so many benefits to spending time outdoors, from health through to your mindset and having a few meals in the garden can really help to boost your mood. 

You often find that people like to create a dedicated dining space in the patio area, or maybe you have a section of the lawn that has the perfect ground for a dining space, whichever way suits your home you will not regret introducing some outdoor dining to your life.

Invest in some beautiful rattan garden furniture to create a stunning outdoor dining/relaxing space where you can enjoy your garden in all it's glory and make it an extension of your home.

Introduce Colour and Life
Having a garden full of life and character is perfect, especially in the summer. There’s nothing nicer than having a welcoming outdoor space that you can enjoy with your friends and family. It doesn’t matter how much space you have, there is always room to inject some life and transform the space with a little colour.

One incredible way to inject life into your garden is by attracting honey bees. These insects play a crucial role in pollination, helping your garden to bloom beautifully. Choose flowers and plants that honey bees favour, like lavender, sunflowers and poppies. Not only will you be making your garden more colourful and vibrant with these plant choices, but you'll also help to support the vital honey bee population.

Remember to avoid using pesticides, as they harm honey bees. Also, providing a shallow water source on hot summer days can be and excellent way for these industrious insects to quench their thirst, making your garden a delightful haven for both you and the honey bees.

If you have a grass lawn, make sure it's looking as vibrant as it can by caring for it with MOOWY Grass seed. Having a lush, green lawn means your colourful plant and flower boarders will stand out even more and be a lovely addition to your well cared for garden.

Introducing a colourful flowerbed to your garden is a great way to add some character to the space, whilst also giving yourself a little project to work on throughout spring. In gardens centres you find everything you need to create your own flowerbed, with a selection of high-quality soils, compost and other essential gardening items. 

Having a selection of colourful flowers will not only add an aesthetic appeal to your garden, but it will also enhance the space and create a positive atmosphere that you can enjoy.



Turn the Inside Out
Adding certain furniture pieces into the garden is ideal for ensuring you can really make the most of the space that you have. Whilst having a dining space is essential, there are other furniture pieces that you should consider adding into the garden to really make it a space you can use at all times.

There are so many amazing products available for the garden, from hammock swings and hammock stands to waterproof beanbags and adding a couple of these into the garden will instantly create a space for you to relax and wind down in. 

Adding a summer house can make a real feature for your garden and allow you to enjoy it in all weathers. There are some lovely summer house and garden room lighting ideas available to really give your summer house the wow factor and make it a cosy space for enjoying on spring and summer days and nights too.

Make it Fun for the Kids
As soon as those warmer days arrive, you want to get the little ones outside enjoying some fresh air for as long as possible. With the unexpected weather conditions, you have to make the most of the warm weather whilst it’s here, so having a space that your children can use to play in, whilst getting the fresh air they need, is ideal.

There are lots of ways you can create a child-friendly garden and there are some really wonderful ideas to make a unique kids space in the garden. From investing in a high-quality climbing frame set, to games and toys that they can have hours of entertainment with, you can really create a mini outdoor play space for your little ones, so the whole family can enjoy the garden space together.

How do you make the most of your garden in the warmer months?
