Spring is officially here and it’s time to get your outdoor space looking its best in time for the warm summer months.
Rather than buying herbs every time you need them, Angela suggests planting them in containers placed near to the barbecue, ready to add to your dishes. While it is still several months until you can enjoy cooking outside, it could also be a good time to bring the barbecue out of hibernation and give it a thorough clean.
If you’re feeling creative, Angela suggests using wooden pallets to make open-fronted outdoor shelters to hide garden clutter, such as children’s bikes or wheelie bins. They are usually given away free, so all it costs is screws, sandpaper, paint and an afternoon’s effort. They can also be used to create basic furniture, raised beds and planters, although Angela cautions that pallets should be sanded down well as they are full of splinters.Online marketplaces and websites such as Freecyle.org can be useful places to source garden items and items that can be repurposed for outdoor spaces at a low or no cost. Often you can pick up second hand outdoor furniture for minimal cost which looks good as new after a through clean.
Mairi Devlin, head of buying for B&Q said: “Sprucing up your garden doesn’t have to cost fortune; with a couple of simple and cost-effective changes you can give your garden a whole new look.” She suggests giving sheds and fences a new lease of life by painting them or adding LED string lights to add a touch of glamour to gardens – without breaking that all-important budget.
