Whether small, large, sunny or shady, something beautiful can be made of every garden. You just have to know how and have the desire and time to redesign your own garden. If you are still lacking inspiration, you could try these five ideas for the garden.
Your garden should be a place that invites you to linger. There are numerous outdoor seating options and in the end it is personal taste that decides which of them suits your own garden. A porch swing offers a lot of space and a nice ambience, but this hanging armchair also invites you to relax.
As soon as it gets dark in the evening, beautiful light accents in the garden can create a warm atmosphere. Weatherproof fairy lights are among the classics, but practical solar lights are also suitable for outdoors, such as this solar light in the shape of a crescent moon.
Families with children can use their own garden to play outside and let off steam in the fresh air. A trampoline not only brings the right fun factor, it also promotes physical activity in everyday life. The nice thing is that both the children and the adults in the family enjoy jumping on the trampoline.
Bee populations are getting smaller and smaller. One of the reasons for this is that the habitat in which they can spread, such as trees, shrubs, perennials and flowers, is disappearing. You can actively help to protect the bees, for example with an insect hotel that creates valuable wintering and nesting opportunities for insects in your garden. Certain flowers also provide habitat for bees. You can use this seed to create a small meadow for bees. This not only helps the bees, but also sets a colorful accent in your garden.
Planting your own fruit and vegetable patches isn't difficult, and once you've had your first harvest, you probably won't want to stop gardening. If you grow it yourself, you get healthy and particularly fresh food from the garden directly on your plate. In addition to classic beds, raised beds are very popular. On the one hand, this is because the fruit and vegetable plants are less exposed to pests because snails reach the seed only very slowly due to the height of the bed and, on the other hand, it is easy to manage. Because only after five to seven years does the raised bed have to be refilled with compost or fresh potting soil.
