Don’t Damage Your Garden With These Dreadful Decisions

So you’re thinking about redesigning your garden, whether you have just moved in to your new place, or it’s been long overdue, there are many common mistakes that are made that you will want to avoid at all costs. Here are a few examples.

Re-designing your garden

No plan

First and foremost, no matter how many ideas you think you have that’ll be simple enough to do – don’t just go into them with no plan of action. Write out a plan of ideas in order of ease, and then figure out exactly what you want and what you need to do to get it done, along with any prices if you think it will cost you money. (In this case, you should also create a budget!)

The easiest way to make a plan is to sit in your garden, have a good look around and figure out what’s missing, like colourful drama – or what needs to go, like an old bust up fence. Remember that no job is too big or too small if you have the right equipment and knowledge.

I loved Lego as a kid, building houses of Lego was my thing. Baby girl is still a little too small for Lego, she’s into Duplo, but my nephew adores Lego. He has many of the different figures and gadgets that come with it nowadays. His craze at the moment is the Batman Lego! When I was small Lego was just Lego.

Anyway now you can get this fabulous Lego compatible sticky brick tape, which is great for using on shelf edges, edges of bookcases, vertical on walls, anywhere really. Then you can stick all your figures in one place. The tape is available in blue, red, grey and green in 1m length rolls.

The Start of a New Garden From the Beginning

When we moved into our new house at the end of June, I had great plans on designing the new garden. I love gardens, the outdoor space, the tranquility, the plants, nature. I adore it all. I knew when we bought off plan that the house had a pretty rectangular shaped garden, much better than our hilly garden in the old house! So I know this is a garden I can get the most out of. My husband said I had such a huge smile on my face when I saw actually how big it was. The size is roughly 12 x 18 metres. I have yet to get out and measure it properly!

It was a garden of mud, but I loved it! I looked beyond that and could see the potential, here is the start of the new garden right from the beginning.
