Simple Tips to Improve your City Garden
A garden in a city, especially in London, is valuable space, so it’s important to make the most of it if you’re lucky enough to have one. A garden can provide the perfect oasis from busy city life and a space to call your home – rather than fighting for space at a park or pub garden.
So how can you make the most of your city garden? We have some simple tips to help you improve your garden and enjoy it all year round.
Invest in Patio Doors
There is no point having a garden if you can’t enjoy it as much as possible, so why not blur the line between home and garden and invest in the best patio doors London has to offer. There are a wide variety of styles to choose from, so you’ll be able to find something to complement your home whether it’s early, mid or 21st Century.
Patio doors can be single or double and allow you to enjoy an uninterrupted view of your garden and the natural daylight as it flows into your home. They’re perfect for entertaining too and can be opened out to allow guests to mingle between garden and home.
Grow Your Own
Why not make the most of your green space by growing some greens! There is something hugely rewarding about growing your own fruit and veg and being able to pick and enjoy great produce from your own garden. If you’re unsure, why not start with herbs? Fresh herbs are so useful for cooking and add extra flavour and oomph to your dishes – most are easy to grow and can be harvested all year round.
Create Space for Entertaining
Whether you want to sit or lay outside with a good book and top up your tan or you’re hosting a BBQ or dinner al fresco with friends, family or housemates, then having space for entertaining or relaxing is essential. Invest in a good rattan set or picnic bench or upcycle some old furniture and it will help your garden feel welcoming and home.
Divide and Conquer
Why not divide your garden into different spaces to truly make the most of it and make it functional for you. You could have space for entertaining, space for the BBQ, space for fruit and veg or beautiful flower beds, a garden bar, composting and even a space for chickens or pets! – the opportunities are endless.
If you’re not one for gardening, make your garden functional for you and use decking or patio to reduce grass cutting and garden maintenance. You could even invest in artificial grass and plants, we won’t tell!
