A beautiful garden doesn't have to cost a fortune. With smart choices and a little bit of creativity, you can save considerably on costs.
1. Opt for perennials
Perennials come back every year, in contrast to annuals that you have to buy again each season. Lavender, hydrangeas, and sedum are great choices.
2. Sow yourself instead of buying
Seeds cost a fraction of the price of adult plants. Start sowing indoors in early spring and enjoy free flowers and vegetables in summer.
3. Use second-hand materials
Check Marktplaats or garden centers for used stones, wood and decorations. Not only do you save money, but you also give your garden a unique look.
4. Make your own compost
Why buy expensive manure when you can turn kitchen and garden waste into free compost? It's good for your plants and the environment.
A beautiful garden really doesn't have to be expensive. With these tips, you can create a green oasis without emptying your wallet!
