Your Backyard Makeover!

If your home is the castle, then your backyard is the royal grounds behind the castle.  Keep your yard fit for a king (and queen) with these helpful tips.

 

No matter how carefully you water the royal garden, there is always bound to be a bare patch.  But, don’t fret!  On your next grocery or garden store visit, pick up a few baskets of perennials in full bloom.  Remove the hangers and nestle the baskets into the bare spots. (The baskets should easily be disguised in the surrounding foliage.)

 

Create a relaxing effect with your very own water garden.  Simply fill a metal pail with water, and float candles, glass baubles or no-fuss water lettuce in your new oasis.

 

Like all royalty, you appreciate your privacy.  Take advantage of potted plants in your yard to create a natural hedge for privacy and shelter.  Arrange them in varying heights and enjoy the beauty of their blooms.
