As the days continue to get longer and we wait for some much-needed sunshine, it’s time to give your garden some TLC after the winter months. Whether you have a large space or a small area to tend to, there are plenty of easy ways to update your outdoor sanctuary this year.
To inspire you we’ve put together some simple ways to update your garden without breaking the bank. Read on to see what’s available at Cannon Park.
Clean up and decorate
A good place to start is clearing your outdoor space of any debris that’s built up over the previous colder months. Give the area a sweep and clean and add some decorative items and solar lights.

Add instant blooms
Add instant colour to your garden with hanging baskets. Choose seasonal plants that are in bloom when you buy them (or have a go at growing tomatoes in them!) and hang from your fencing. There are plenty of styles to choose from, including traditional baskets, such as those available at Wilko or go bright with Bargain Buys’ range of bright tin pails.

Freshen up your fencing
Freshen up your fencing with a fresh coat of paint to instantly give your garden a lift. Create a calming space with blue tones or go for a more traditional brown. It’s not expensive to transform your fence with paint either – Wilko‘s Cuprinol Ducksback paint range is now just £10.00 (selected colours, see in-store for full details).
