A lot of people who put a huge amount of love, care and attention into their homes. They make sure that there’s a place for everything and everything’s in its right place. They coordinate things by colour, size, theme, or any other way that they choose to until their home is something that they can be proud of. The question is, why don’t they do the same for the garden? One of the most common reasons that many people put way more effort into the interiors of their homes than the outdoor spaces is simply that it’s a lot less effort. People often assume that keeping your garden looking nice is a lot of constant effort. Well, that’s not always the case, with that in mind, here are some ways to have a wonderful garden with a lot less effort than you expect.
Keep things simple
It’s easy to end up getting a little overly ambitious when it comes to your garden. A lot of people start trying to think about complicated themes that they want for their garden or ways in which it can look like something out of a fairytale. In reality, it’s a much better idea to just keep things simple with a lawn, a few flower beds, and a couple of basic ornaments.
Natural is best
Sure, the idea of perfect rows of flowers all coordinated by colour might seem like a great idea, but the truth is that the only way you’re going to be able to achieve that is through a serious amount of work. Instead, just find some seeds that you want to grow and scatter them around where you want the flower beds to be. The natural look to your garden can be fantastic, and it comes with the added benefit of being incredibly easy to achieve. Sure, you don’t want it to become totally overgrown, but finding the right balance there isn’t as hard as you might expect.
Make it evergreen
One of the most frustrating things about a caring for a garden is that it’s pretty much constant. You’ve got to keep rotating plants through the seasons, watering things every day, and pulling up weeds on a nearly constant basis. The best way to work around this is to choose plants that don’t require that much work. Things like fast growing evergreen trees are a gift to your garden because they look great, offer plenty of shade to your garden, and you don’t have to worry about them losing their leaves during the autumn and winter months. Sure, there will always be plants that need some extra help, but by making your garden as low maintenance as possible you’re going to find it a lot easier to make the most of it.
Sure, there is still going to be a lot of work involved in making your garden a place that you can actually be proud of but if you’re willing to put in the same amount of effort into it that you do in your interiors, then it’s pretty likely that it’s just become a part of your routine and it won’t even feel like that big of a deal.
