Have you been feeling stuck in designing your garden? This week, one of our gardening experts, James Bolger is going to tell you how to get it started easily.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Get it on PAPER first!

You will be amazed with the options and what you can come up with. It will make the task ahead much easier (avoiding costly mistakes or wasted time), more pleasurable and rewarding. As you will have your plan to follow to a beautiful satisfying end result.

What is your Budget?

It's important to know how much you wish to spend. So you can plan you garden within your budget.

Time Frame 

Time frame will depend on your budget. Whether you can do all your garden all at once, or you do it in stages. You will achieve the same outcome in the end.

Must-Have

When starting a garden project, it is much easier if your tools are clean and sharpened.

Whether doing it yourself or engaging professionals?

You can either get a professional garden desginer to do the plan for you or you can make your own! Take a look around your house and divide it into different areas and understand which style you would like for each.

 

See some examples below.

 

FRONT

You can have a small area in the front. Rocks and woodchips are good decorations.

SIDE

Some areas surround the house

BACK
