As mentioned in the first point, it’s important to prepare for the future. We often see or hear of people ‘doing the garden’ to sell a house. Unfortunately, poor planning or short-sightedness can turn this good intention into a problem - as quickly as the next season.
We agree a home will sell quicker with an attractive garden, but the risk of over planting gardens in this situation is high. Not only is the maintenance on an overplanted garden arduous but long term generally a re-design is required. When planning a new garden it is important to factor in growth - short and long term. Think about the maintenance requirements of the plants you like and how the plants will grow together.
Depending on the style of the home native plants are great choices to create an easy care garden all year round, grevillea, acacia, callistemon and anigozanthos (kangaroo paw) can create a visually appealing garden.
Container gardening or ‘containerscaping’ is a relatively new term but not a new concept. Using pots can help create a full garden but with less chance that the plants will overgrow their space. These styles generally will look tidier longer. A great option for people selling homes.
If you’re ready to design your garden during winter and make it last for years to come, get your garden pots and plants from Spot On Pots & Nursery. We offer a wide range of indoor and outdoor plants that will easily bloom within your home or out in your yard no matter what the season.
