Enjoy Your Garden All year Round
Regardless of the season, your garden can be enjoyed all year round. Many
gardeners think that once the warm months of Summer and Spring are over, it is
difficult to get outside and find the right plants to grow or difficult to spend time in
your garden. However, it's far from the truth because every season is an
opportunity to appreciate the beauty of the garden you worked so hard on.
When the weather has shifted, some individuals decide that it is just better to stay
inside and keep warm instead of going outside. Instead of this scenario, consider
how you can enjoy the cold weather and get outside in your winter wonderland.
This can be done with an outdoor fireplace or fire pit quite easily. The hot blazing
fire will keep you and your loved ones warm, while illuminating your beautiful
garden in all its magnificence. Your winter plants and flowers that can handle
extreme cold will sparkle from their frost in the chilly air as you stay warm by the
fire. Obviously building a fireplace is easier said than done and of course you need
to choose the right style, look, building materials and location. Getting in touch
with a garden designer is probably the right thing to do at this point so that your
fireplace is built correctly, gives off loads of heat and becomes a beautiful feature
of your garden.
There are of course alternatives such as the popular patio heaters you see in many
garden centres. These can be very effective and they can give off a lot of heat.
However personally I feel that these simply don’t make much of a feature and
certainly don’t look as nice as an open fireplace. Getting into your garden and
enjoying time with friends and family has to be a novelty, there has to be some
kind of feature to draw you out. Crowding under a patio heater isn't quite as
enticing as sitting around a fireplace and toasting marshmallows whilst sipping hot
chocolate!
If you feel definite on the fact that you will not be going outside in colder weather,
you may want to consider moving some of your garden into your home. Pots of all
sizes can be purchased at your local garden store and it is fairly simple to move a
plant from your garden to your home. By moving your plant into your home, you
can enjoy the beautiful colours and smells of the plants regardless of the time of
year. Obviously you may not want to go around digging up half of your garden but
if you aim to include potted plants in parts of your garden during the spring and
summer then it is quite easy to bring these into parts of the home during the colder
months.
