With spring just around the corner, many people are turning their attentions back to their gardens that may have been left untouched over the winter months. Over winter gardens tend to get a bit neglected and everything dies back. This can make your garden look bear and unkempt. If you have children or dogs you may find that the garden has become a bit of a mud bath and you need to think about when you are going to replant the grass seed in order for it to come back.
The first thing to do is to get rid of all the dead shrubbery and rake the garden. Once you have a blank canvas to work on you can then start to decide what you want in your garden and where.
The daffodils will soon start to pop up and can really brighten up a garden although as these flowers are seasonal, they won’t last long.
If you have very little time to spend in your garden then you need to try and look for plants and shrubs that require little maintenance. Some plants are harder to keep than others and if you are a bit of a novice or simply do not enjoy gardening then it is probably best to steer clear of these sorts.
