So let usrekindle it, by suggesting 10 easy andAll TimeInc.4AMATEUR GARDENING4 APRIL 2015WestlandLeffective changes that you can make inthe garden.All the projects are relatively simple,and none should take more than a day orso to complete, but will add an extradimension to your garden. In fact, whynot have a go this Easter weekend?10 projectsto try in 2015Here are my top ten suggestions foradding extra value to your gardenPut up a trellis.Hide an unsightly wall or garden object with an easy-to-install trellis. Once it is up, use it as a support for an attractive climbersuch as honeysuckle or clematis.12Painting a clay pot.Add variety to yourterracotta containers by painting them withacrylic paint and then spraying them with clearacrylic to seal the paint so it won’t fade or peel.3Plantingshrubs ina shady area.Use shade-loving plantswith brightflowers orberries tobrighten updarker areas.Try aSkimmiajaponica,pictured, or aFuchsia‘MrsPopple’ andthen plantsnowdrops,anemonesand cyclamenat their base.Pot up a herbrbgarden.I hadaadsmall bay treelanguishing in aplastic pot that I’dbeen meaning toodo somethingwith. I plantedit in a largercontainerwith aselection ofother herbs tocreate a one-pot herb gardennthat I can site nearearthe kitchen door. Seer.how I did it on p11.45Pond in abarrel orsink.Waterfeatures neednot be massiveor elaborate tohave abeneficial effectin the garden.You can createone out of anold barrel, sinkor even a bath– as long as theplughole isblocked! Alwaysleave a way forfrogs, toads andother animals toget in and out.76Plant an alpine garden.Alpine plants suchas gentians,Sisyrinchium bellumandcampanula look fabulous in an old sink ortrough. Add evergreens and features for year-round interest.Install awater butt.They are easy toinstall, can saveyou money ifyou are on ameter, and ifsited near thebusiest part ofthe garden, willcut out a lot ofto-ing and fro-ing withwatering cans.You can linkseveral togetherfor greatercapacity.Put up anarch.There issomethingtraditionallyEnglish aboutan archwayfestoonedwith scentedroses orhoneysuckle.They arerelativelyeasy to siteand will addan extradimension tothe garden.8Create a compost heap.This is anotherrelatively easy practical task – made evensimpler if you buy a composting bin! It will giveyou rich, free food and mulch for the garden.9Plan a seating area.A seating areahelps turn a garden into a ‘room’for relaxation and enjoyment.
