People tend to spend the majority of their time in the spring and summer tending to their garden. Many resist going outside in Autumn believing it’s too cold, unbearable, rainy and windy – but that’s not always the case. And even when the weather isn’t too delightful, there are still ways to remedy those issues and make your autumn garden one of the perfect places to be.

While spring and summer garden sights bring a flurry of colourful flowers set against a backdrop of bright green foliage offset by the sun’s beams, Autumn has other qualities, that are often left unearthed or ignored as people remain cooped inside. And so, this post is dedicated to making the garden the place to be in Autumn too.

Perhaps you might need a jumper and scarf, and a cup of hot tea. But with a bed of crisp leaves swarming the garden grass. And a moody sky up above. Autumn brings a new delightful mode of scenery to your garden.

Overhaul Water Tanks and Butts 

The most prominent thing that’s necessary in the garden yet sticks out like a sore thumb is the water tank.

To merge the tank into the background of the backyard, consider The Tank Factory – a company that prides itself on offering water tanks that are practical, yet stylish. Available in a range of colours, in different shapes, you can almost instantly enhance the look of your garden, with a brand new water tank.

Make Use Of Evergreen Plants

As annuals and perennials die out following summer, the garden loses pigment and interest that added to its charm during the warmer months.

But fear not, there are alternative means of foliage you can install into the garden that can sustain the harsh weather autumn from time to time (okay most of the time) bestows on us.

From Cypress trees to Buxus, viburnum-tinus to hydrangeas, some shrubs thrive in wet and windy conditions. Making them the perfect addition to add scenic value to your autumn garden.

Shapeup the Garden

From de-weeding to defining the edges of your patio. Shaping up your garden is a vital part of creating a dreamy autumn garden that you’ll want to spend time in.

Moreover, mowing the lawn, and clearing away empty pots, old garden toys, broken solar lights and questionable gnome ornaments, will make the outdoor space tidy and inviting.

Last Minute Paint

Leaving it much longer to commit to any outdoor painting might be cutting it fine. However, if you pull together your fence and furniture paint and make use of the remaining sun, you might have enough time to spruce up the interior of the garden with some fresh paint.

Fence paint is not only ideal for adding colour to your autumn garden but also for protecting it from harsh weather too. And the same goes for garden furniture.

Plus, amping up your garden furniture with a new bright shade can instantly make your autumn garden more alluring.

Getting your garden ready for Autumn will give you additional pleasant space for respite, fresh air, and the opportunity to gaze at the array of autumn colours.
