Kitting out a garden can quickly turn into an expensive job, but at Ideal Home, we don’t think a fresh look garden for summer should burn through your savings. In fact, we think you can do a pretty good job of updating your space with the right free garden ideas.
While there’s nothing quite so pleasing as a spot of horticultural therapy, the ongoing cost-of-living crisis means that we have grown incredibly fond of a budget garden idea (and even fonder of a totally free garden idea, too).
Thank goodness, then, that the hottest garden trends of the moment are so very purse-friendly.
Anyone who has ever pottered through a garden centre on a sunny afternoon will know already that gardening can be expensive. Even the plants themselves, every bit as beguiling as the sirens of Greek mythology, will cost you a pretty penny or two – especially if they’ve just been repotted (hot tip: garden centres charge by pot size, not plant size).
Thankfully, there are plenty of ways you can garden for free – whether that’s upcycling your best garden furniture, learning how to make compost, collecting seeds, or propagating plants from cuttings.
