Seasonal Summer Tips
As summer arrives, it’s time to maximise your
outdoor enjoyment. Here are our tips for keeping
your personal outdoor space thriving throughout
the brighter months.
•
Planting & Colour
Fill your space with vibrant summer blooms.
Consider drought-tolerant plants like lavender,
geraniums, and succulents, which are easier
to maintain.
•
Height & textures
Jonathan Moseley recommends: “When
planting Summer tubs and containers try
to achieve different heights and textures by
selecting interesting plant combinations. Lilies
add immediate luxury and fabulous fragrance.
Plants with a low trailing habit like Bacopa,
nemesia and diascias provide a wealth
of flowers throughout the Summer.”
•
Enjoying the Evenings
As the sun sets, outdoor lighting creates
a magical atmosphere. Solar-powered fairy
lights, lanterns, and candles can transform
your space into a tranquil retreat. Remember
to check the terms of your lease before adding
anything to the structure of the balcony.
Mindful Moments
Jonathan Moseley highlights that “Flowers not
only bring joy, they are proven to help with mental
health.” Your outdoor space is for enjoyment,
and connecting with nature significantly benefits
your mental well-being. Simply sit and appreciate
the beauty around you: the colours, the sounds,
the fresh air. Engaging your senses reduces stress
and boosts mood. By embracing these simple
moments in your outdoor haven, you enhance
your overall wellbeing and enrich your life.
