I know how beautiful weather during the spring can put a pep in your step and starts the creative juices flowing. It is a time to recharge our batteries by getting outside and dreaming of new projects for the landscape.
Here are a few ideas to update your landscape around your home:
- Check into adding interest to your flower beds -edge with rocks in key areas instead of surrounding the entire bed.
- Plant annuals in large containers - BIG makes a bigger visual impact in focal spots.
- Consider colorful plants at the entrance of your home - color in the flowers is like accessories in your home.
- Look at changing the color of your door or shutters - small cost for significant impact.
- When selecting colorful plants remember to use odd numbers - 3 or 5 of each color in groupings.
- Colorful cushions for your outdoor furniture - if your cushions are faded from previous seasons try making a simple slip cover.
- Make a sitting arrangement in a special place in your yard - this creates an outdoor room for guest to visit.
- Add a garden statue in your flower bed - don't go crazy and put several - remember less is more for impact.
- Evaluate your landscape for clutter - our yards can get cluttered just like our homes.
- If you have a shed don't forget to add shrubbery - sheds need softening with plantings around the foundations.
- Consider a coat of paint on furnishings or sheds - it's like make-up that hides imperfections.
The possibilities are endless. Take time to recharge your batteries and get outside to enjoy what our Creator has provided.
