5 ways to make the most of your garden space this summer

With summer fast approaching, it’s the perfect time to transform your garden into a vibrant oasis where you can relax, entertain, and connect with friends and family. Regardless of the size of your outdoor space, there are plenty of creative ways to make the most of it, and here at North Valley Composites, our composite fencing panels can be used to help you create a really stunning garden setting. So with that in mind, here’s a couple more practical tips to help you maximise your garden space and create a stunning summertime retreat.

How to optimise your garden space this summer

There are loads of different ways you can optimise your garden spec, and we should say right off the bat that these aren’t essential tasks that you must perform at all costs! They’re just suggestions, so you can pick and choose which ones would best suit you.

• Plan ahead – first and foremost, start by carefully planning your garden layout. Assess the available space and consider the activities you’d like to enjoy there. From there, aim to divide your garden into zones such as seating areas, dining spots, and plant beds, then optimise the layout by utilising vertical space, incorporating multi-purpose furniture, and creating pathways to enhance flow.

• Vertical gardening – vertical gardening is an excellent technique for maximising space, especially in small gardens. Be sure to make effective use of your walls, fences, or trellises to grow climbing plants like vines, cucumbers, or beans. Hanging baskets and wall-mounted planters can also be used to add greenery and floral accents without sacrificing ground space.
  
• Container gardening – containers offer flexibility and allow you to cultivate various plants, regardless of limited ground space. Choose containers of different sizes and shapes to add visual interest to your space, and grow herbs, vegetables, and colourful flowers in pots, hanging baskets, or window boxes. For maximum effect, group them strategically to create focal points and make the most of every corner.
  
• Tiered gardens and raised beds – if your garden is on a bit of a slope, consider terracing it into multiple levels using tiered planters or raised beds. Not only does this add depth and dimension to your space, but also provides additional planting areas for all your flowers and herbs.
  
• Compact furniture and multi-functional elements – investing in compact furniture that suits your garden’s size and purpose is really helpful when it comes to saving space. Items like folding chairs, collapsible tables, and stackable stools can be easily stored when not in use, and multi-functional elements like benches with built-in storage or coffee tables that double as planters can be really handy additions! Space-saving solutions such as these ensure versatility while optimising your outdoor living area.
