Brighten up your garden on a budget

Even though we only saw a tiny glimpse of sun at the weekend, it could be time to get your garden into shape for the summer. We have a few tips to brighten up your garden even if you are trying to save the pennies!

 

Pots and Window Boxes

 

Pots and window boxes are great way to give a boost of colour and interest to your garden. You can come across plenty of old-fashioned favorites and they are easy to plant as well.
