Making The Garden Your Own In A Rented Home

Living in rented property always comes with a set of advantages and disadvantages. On the one side, you will have the freedom to move whenever you like, instead of being tied to a single place. Alongside this, though, you will also incredibly restricted when it comes to making your home into something you love. It will feel pointless making big changes to a place like this when you’re not going to be there for long, and a lot of landlords will be against it, too. So, to help you out with this, this post will be exploring some of the ways that you can change your garden without making it permanent.

The Flowers/Plants

 

Outdoor spaces are best used when they are filled with beautiful flowers and plants. The process of choosing these for your space can be incredibly fun, with the array of choices giving you loads to pick from. Along with this, a lot of people will enjoy the process of arranging them in their garden, playing with the balance of shapes and colours. When you don’t want to change the place, though, it’s a good idea to use pots instead of planting the flowers directly into the garden. While this keeps the space relatively untouched, it will also enable you to take the plants with you when you go.

 

The Fruit/Vegetables

 

Growing vegetables and fruit in your rented garden can be a little bit harder than flowers. If you want to be able to do this all year round, having a greenhouse will make the process much easier. Of course, though, building a structure like this won’t be a good idea if you plan to move anytime soon. Instead, portable greenhouses could be the answer, giving you the chance to grow your own food, while also being able to take all of your equipment with you. It will be worth avoiding putting this on top of grass, as this could alter the appearance of the space when the structure is gone.

 

The Landscaping

 

Finally, as the last area to consider, most people won’t feel happy with their garden until they’ve done some landscaping with it. Unfortunately, there isn’t really a temporary way to handle this, unless you’re willing to spend a fortune on moving large objects when you get a new home. If you really want to do something with this part of the space, it will be worth talking to your landlord. If you are prepared to contribute to the costs, do most of the work, and clean up afterwards, they may be willing to pay for most of the job. Having someone happy to do this for them could be a big benefit, and they may be excited to have the chance.
