Not sure if you have green fingers yet? Let’s experiment and have fun finding out. If you’re searching for fresh garden ideas that don’t involve lots of steps and equipment – you’ve come to the right place.
This playful gardening idea is all about forgetting perfection and letting nature take its course. Dive in and see for yourself just how simple it is.
Why this garden idea works so well
Chaos and companion gardening blends flowers and edible plants together – it encourages biodiversity, attracts pollinators and helps plants support one another.
Try these simple garden ideas to get started:
- Mix flowers, herbs and pollinator-friendly plants
Combining ornamental flowers with useful herbs creates a garden that looks stunning and smells amazing while drawing in bees and butterflies. Pollinators help plants flourish and encourages growth across your whole space. - Pair plants that benefit each other
Some plants naturally protect and benefit others. Marigolds, for example, help deter unwanted pests, while cosmos is brilliant for attracting bees. Companion planting reduces the need for chemicals and keeps your garden healthier. - Scatter seeds instead of planting in rows
One of the most liberating garden ideas of all is being able to scatter the seed mix. Do this over prepared soil, then, lightly rake, water and wait. This will create a natural, cottage-style display that changes throughout the season.
Tool maintenance tips
Even low-maintenance gardening is easier with tools that work properly. Soil, moisture and plant sap can cause rust and stiffness – especially on your cutting tools!
All you need to keep them lubricated, clean and rust-free, is use your 3-IN-ONE Drip Oil.
- Clean pruners, shears and hand tools after use with a clean cloth and a drop of Drip Oil
- Apply Drip Oil directly to the joints and along blade surfaces
- Wipe all over the metal with a cloth, work it in and wipe away excess
Some of the best garden ideas and maintenance techniques are surprisingly simple. Create your colourful garden this summer, sit back and enjoy the surprise.
