Why should you spend lots of time, money and effort on making your garden look beautiful if you aren’t able to enjoy it for the whole of the year? Well, you don’t have to! Knowing how to add year round interest to your garden can be difficult. However, this guide could help you if you’re lacking some inspiration!
Putting plants in your garden that will look great all year round is a first step to achieving year round interest in your garden. These are just a few that will last all year:
The great thing about having art work in your garden is that it can look beautiful for the whole of the year, it is not reliant on the weather. Perhaps you could choose a garden-suitable painting, or a metal piece of wall-art. Whatever you choose, it will be sure to create year round interest in your garden.
At different times of year, there will be different types of wildlife around to venture into your garden and this wildlife will add interest to any garden. Of course, if you have pets, there may be some species that you want to keep out of your garden but, in general, birds are always welcomed. You can encourage birds into your garden by ensuring that you have plenty of food and water for them, and perhaps a bird box or bath for them to rest in.
Whether it be a large feature, such as a pond, or perhaps just a fountain, adding a feature to your garden will keep up the interest in it throughout the year. Not only will it give you something to enjoy during the whole year, it could also act as a point of conversation for guests!
Cloches help to add year round interest as they work as a sort of season-extending tool. They can allow you to grow vegetables for longer than you might otherwise, adding an extra pop of colour of layer of texture to your garden for a while longer. This also means that interest will be added in the kitchen, too!
