Spring has sprung, the days are warmer and the nights are longer. If you are lucky enough to have a garden, this is when it really comes into its own, a place to entertain and to relax in. However even the most cared for garden can sometimes look a bit tired, so how do you put some new life into it?

A great idea that makes a real difference is to bring the indoors outside and decorate your garden as an extension of your home, injecting style and personality into it.

There is something magical about a garden in the evening, make it even more so by adding some new and imaginative lighting to yours. Fairy lights strung around trees and tea lights in glass jars create a wonderful mood and a magical atmosphere. You can also hang some outdoor lanterns within the trees or even place some hurricane lanterns on your patio for a lovely effect.

Whether you have a little space or a lot, an old wooden ladder is a great way to display your pots and flowers. Simply clean it, sand it down and if you want paint it in a new fresh colour. Then all you need to do is position your flower pots on different levels of the ladder planter and secure them against a feature wall. This is a great idea if you have a small garden and are short on space.
