Does your garden look more like a forest or wasteland? Or is it not that bad but time for some improvement none the less? In any case, a trip to a garden centre like Notcutts may be advised whenever your garden needs some work. Everyone has different ideas of what a garden should look like. Some people like a garden full of flowers while others like a garden that is almost free of maintenance. Still, there are some things that every garden needs. But what are these garden necessities? Does every garden really need to include all these things? And what can you do to create the beautiful garden that you see in some pictures? Maybe we’ll be able to tell you a bit more about this. We would like to present you with some inspiration and other ideas for your garden so you can enjoy the summer watching your flowers blossom and your trees and shrubs grow.

A Garden Fence
Of course, you need a garden fence. You need to let other people know that this garden is your own private piece of earth. But you might not realise that there are various options that you can consider. There are low white picket fences. These fences are pretty popular, especially in the US. They are ideal when you already have a great view from your terrace. You can also choose a more rustic stone fence. And there are high wooden fences that keep unwanted trespassers of your property.

A Place to Sit
Every garden needs a place where you can sit. There are several options that you can choose from. Maybe you’re already satisfied with a few stones where you can put your garden chair and garden table. If you want a bit more, you can create a terrace where you can put an entire garden shed. You can also create an entire veranda by adding a balustrade and roof. But whatever kind of terrace you choose, stay aware of the place of the sun. If your terrace is in the sun, you can add a parasol. But it’s not as easy to add sun to a veranda that only offers sun in the morning or late afternoon.

Some Garden Furniture
The terrace or another place to sit needs some garden furniture. You might want a sun lounger, garden bench, garden table, garden chair or even a complete garden set. There is a lot of garden furniture to choose from. They can be made of wood, metal, rattan or some other material. Visit some garden shops to discover the right furniture for your garden.

Garden Decoration
Your garden isn’t a real garden without some garden decoration. A garden needs plants, bushes, trees and other things that grow. Even a low-maintenance garden requires some shrubs or bushes to make the garden feel alive. Maybe you even want to include an entire herb garden or vegetable garden so you can grow your own vegetables.

Hopefully, we have given you some ideas for your garden. If you need some help finding the right plants, you can always visit a garden centre and ask them for advice.
