It’s recommended to use a wood protective paint to ensure any fences or sheds are protected from the elements and prevented from rotting.' There are a lot of wood paints and stains available in a variety of different colours depending on your taste. Wright recommends 'If your fences or shed are looking shabby and unloved, giving them a new lick of paint can brighten up the garden. You may even want to go to town and paint fences too. Plant shrubs and herbs for year-round interestĮyesore of a shed ruining your garden? Giving yours a lick of paint – and painting wooden or metal garden furniture to complement the colour of the shed will give your garden an instant boost.
Young plants are cheaper and grow reasonably fast with the right care. Horticulture and landscaping lecturer Julie Kilpatrick, says, 'It can be very tempting to go to the local garden centre and buy the larger, more mature, plants so you get an instant effect. This is even more applicable when growing your own fruit and veg, as growing from seed is much more cost-effective and higher yielding than buying lots of starter pots from garden centres. On the other hand, instead of buying plants that will immediately achieve your desired look, invest in smaller, younger plants to save money – and which with a little bit of support can grow to the same size quickly.
