Do you want to maintain your wild garden? Do you know what you need to do? Well, an idea of the perfect garden has to start with your imagination, and you have probably seen those professional landscapers on the gardening programs coming up with all sorts of wonderful ideas. How do they make it seem so easy? Not surprisingly they have years of experience and hundreds of examples of garden landscape ideas to draw from. These tools and resources that they have available to them would make any would-be landscaper’s job easier. However if you have an idea of how you would like your wild garden to look, there is no better time to start getting to work and making it look great ready for the warmer months.

When making your garden plans, you should remember:

• There is no right or wrong garden, be creative with your ideas and don’t be afraid to put them into action. After all it is your garden.
• Consider your budget, and how far it will stretch. If you can’t complete the whole landscaping project in one go, for time or budgeting reasons, break it into smaller, manageable mini-projects so that the whole exercise doesn’t get too overwhelming. Choose some small projects that can be completed in a weekend – to keep that motivation going – and to achieve small steps towards your goals.
• Invest in good quality gardening tools. Quality tools like secateurs will make keeping a garden maintained so much easier – cheap secateurs would likely just make it hard to prune and damage the plants. The garden will need some maintenance, so keep this in mind. Though if you like a more ‘natural look’, just leave it to grow a bit wild.
• Keep a hose handy – if you can’t have a hose grab a watering can – whenever anything looks too dry. Choosing climbing plants that suit your climate and conditions will minimise maintenance and the disappointment of losing plantings.
• It can feel dreadful to pick those gorgeous flowers in your garden for indoors so why not create a patch called a “picking garden” – this is the best way to enjoy your garden inside and out.

Let the wild plants grow wild, whilst making sure any weeds are removed. Pergola kits are a handy option for maintaining climbing wild gardens and can really help set off your wild garden. Start any garden project with a simple tidy up, that way you can see exactly what space you have to work with, and can start planning your dream garden.

Whatever you decide is the perfect garden you wish to create you will need to have some great garden design ideas to get you started. These can be collected from home-maker magazines, or from driving around your neighbourhood for inspiration. A professional landscaper can be engaged to provide suggestions, advice and landscape design, but for most, this service will severely eat into the budget available for doing the whole landscaping project. It is easy to find inspirational gardening ideas online, and on social platforms such as Pinterest, where you can save a variety of ideas to look back at on later date.
