Your Garden, Reimagined: Spring Tips for a Beautiful Boost
Spring is the perfect time to take stock of your garden and make simple but effective changes. As trees leaf out and plants emerge, notice how the shifting light and foliage affect your views. Does new greenery create welcome shade or screen off less desirable views? Or are you lacking that softness and structure altogether? These observations can inspire a full design refresh - just like this one!

What to do this Spring
Even small changes can make a big impact.
Tulips & Daffodils: As they fade, remove seedheads and let the foliage die back naturally - this strengthens the bulbs for next year. Once done, lift them, clean off soil, and store in paper bags in a dry, airy spot. Replant in October!
Add a Pop of Colour: Fill containers and tubs with bright, easy-care annuals for an instant boost.
