ADD PLANTS AND GREENERY

A well landscaped front garden will instantly transform the look of your home . While big landscaping projects may come at a great expense , plenty of cost-effective , relatively easy ideas will contribute to a pretty space . Start by adding a bit of greenery with containers or pots ; stand on either side of the front door or porch , or use them to line a path or make an entrance more prominent . Fill the containers with seasonal blooms , or invest in a few trees ; olives are great ! Window boxes or hanging baskets are another way to inject colour and add interest to the face of the house , and they can be regularly updated . When planting up beds , choose hardy shrubs that will tolerate long-lasting weather ; that way , they won ’ t need much attention and will look effective all year round .
