Your home garden is more than just a patch of green outdoor surroundings. It is an ornament, much like a crowning jewel that accentuates the beauty of your villa. Guests arriving at your home will set their eyes on the outdoor garden space and thus the first impression is important. Gardens not only give a magical feel but also support good habits. By growing some veggies in your kitchen garden, kids inculcate the habit of eating healthy and think twice before wasting food. Also, colorful flowers and bushes become home to birds & butterflies, thereby contributing to a better ecosystem in your neighborhood.
There are a number of garden services in Dubai that provide door-to-door complete garden-care packages. However, if you are passionate about plants & have time, you can free 30 minutes from your schedule daily to dedicatedly monitor, take care and beautify these spaces by choosing climbers, creepers, and flowering plants that will sustain all through the seasonal changes of Dubai.
Here are some DIYs That You Can Implement:
Decorate Your Garden Fence: The plain boring woody fences that keep away predators from spoiling your grass are now being replaced by funky and fancy options. With little effort, you can achieve a decent makeover. Grow flowering climbers that take support of the fence, so that the wood paneling gets hidden under a layer of a colorful blanket, as it takes the shape of the fencing. Draping it with climbing flowers appears as if plants are growing vertically. Some prefer the fence paneling to be visible but want to make it attractive. This can be achieved by simply using bright color paints over the wooden finishes and mix-&-matching color on every alternate plank, to enhance the vibrancy.
Install LED Lighting
LED lights are ideal for your gardens, as they create a romantic feel during the night and are easy to install. A soft mood can be created by hiding the lights behind shrubs or trees and even illuminating the pebbled pathways. If your garden is layered, maybe installing different color LED lights on each layer will create a showstopping panorama that will demand a second glance from your guests. You can also opt for battery or solar-enabled fairy lights that can be wrapped around the fencing, to create a visual delight and an extraordinary effect.
Cozy Seating Area
Be as creative as possible with your seating area set-up. Your garden could have a corner dedicated for relaxing so that your family can admire the space from up-close and just lounge there reading a book. Instead of installing a permeant cement bench, you could hang a hammock or suspend a cane chair swing and enjoy curling up there. Another suggestion could be to lay down a small sofa with soft pillows and maybe a small coffee table to convert the outdoors, into a mini home-like functional living space.
Container Gardening
Planting in a pot serves dual advantages; firstly, it is easier to manage the growth of plants; and secondly pretty painted pots arranged neatly enhance the look of the garden. Even if you want to move plants indoors during the rainy season, it's easier to shift them, thanks to lightweight pots. Herbs, and small berries, are best suited for container gardening. Different types of pots you can experiment with can be of materials such as; choir, ceramic, or terracotta, instead of going for the regular plastic option.
