With the summer months fast approaching here in Australia, it’s time to start thinking about all those incredible garden renovations you have been dying to do. Whether it’s renovating the whole garden or adding a few personal touches, the time to grab the gardening gloves and shovel is almost here!

As we know it can be hard to know where to begin when it comes to renovating your garden, we thought we’d share 5 different ways you can spruce up your garden during the summer months:


1.  Start Growing Your Own Herbs And Vegetables By Starting Your Own Patch

If you don't have much experience when it comes to gardening bit you're dying to get green fingers, then starting your own vegetable and herb patch could be a great way to learn.

There are lots of handy guides online to help you get started - so grab your shovel and your gardening gloves and start creating your first ever herb garden!


2.  Add A Stepping Stone Path From One End To The Other

For an easy garden DIY project, try creating a walkway from one side to the other using stepping stones (or wooden panels). Stepping stones are widely available in any garden centre and once you’ve bought them, the rest is easy as long as you make sure you take care of soil disposal.

There are lots of different ways you can create a walkway using stones, so for more inspiration try visiting sites like Pinterest or Instagram.


3.  Paint Your Fencing And Shed To Make Them Seem Brand New

After a few years, your garden woodwork can start to look a little weathered and worn. Going over these with a wood treatment or a little splash of colour will definitely make your garden feel brand new in time for summer!

It’s really surprising what a couple of coats of paint can do, especially when it comes to either your fencing, your shed or any other woodwork you have in your garden.


4.  Buy Some New Planters And Get Creative With Some New Plants

There’s no better way to spruce up your garden than to add in some extra plants. Enough to brighten up anyone’s day, plants are the ideal way to make your garden feel much more homely throughout summer. For plant inspiration, you can visit this handy guide here.

If you spend a lot of time in your garden when it’s dark, try adding a little bit of magic with some solar powered lights. As they charge throughout the long days, there will be plenty of power to last as you sit outside enjoying the peaceful nights. Whether it be at a garden party, a barbeque or simply in your own comfort - lights can make a garden feel extra special.
