The spring garden

With the arrival of spring, the garden begins to come to life again. With the warmer weather and longer days, sleeping perennials start waking from their hibernation. After six months of hiding, autumn-planted bulbs raise their heads and burst into bloom with bright, cheery colours, and the delicate tree blossom unfolds.

The sounds of birds excitedly chirping and buzzing bees fill the air, signalling the start of a new season of growth and renewal in the garden. One of the pleasures of having a low-maintenance spring garden is that it requires minimal upkeep even after enduring a harsh winter.

Combining structural, low-maintenance, evergreen shrubs with spring daffodils, tulips, and crocuses is an easy way to bring a pop of spring colour to the garden. With some planning and foresight, even the busiest gardener can enjoy a spring garden without spending hours maintaining it.

An easy-care spring garden with native and non-native plants and flowers will become a thriving ecosystem that brings joy and amusement to your outdoor space. Spring sees queen bumblebees buzz around searching for a suitable spot to build nests, and ladybirds, spiders, and other beneficial insects hide among the plants to help control pests and maintain the delicate balance of the garden ecosystem. Male birds display and sing whilst male frogs frantically croak around the pond to attract females. Spring has to be one of the most exciting seasons of the year.
