Spring is finally here, and with it comes the annual ritual of adjusting our clocks forward. While losing an hour of sleep might not be everyone’s favourite part of the season, the good news is that longer, brighter days are just around the corner. As gardeners, this means more time to spend outside tending to our plants and enjoying the fresh air. However, it’s important to make sure that we can still work and relax comfortably in the evenings, which is where solar lighting can come in handy.
Lights, lights, lights
When it comes to choosing the right solar lights for your garden, there are a few factors to consider. First, think about the purpose of the lights. Do you want to light up a path, highlight a garden feature, or create an ambience? This will help you determine the type and placement of the lights.
Clean up and prepare your garden beds
Before you start planting new flowers or vegetables, take some time to clean up your garden beds. Remove any dead plants, weeds, and debris that may have accumulated over the winter. You can also add some compost or other organic matter to help nourish the soil and get it ready for planting.
Plan your garden layout
Take some time to think about what you want to grow in your garden this year. Consider the amount of space you have available, the amount of sunlight your garden receives, and the types of plants that will thrive in your climate. Once you have a plan in place, you can start preparing your garden beds and getting them ready for planting.
Start planting seeds indoors
If you want to get a head start on your garden, consider starting some seeds indoors. This is a great way to give your plants a jump
Next, consider the size and design of your garden. If you have a large garden, you may need more larger plants and flower beds to fill the space. This year, why not try a vegetable patch? Use dim fairy lights to add a glow to the space and live off the seeds you sew this year! On the other hand, if you have a small garden, a few well-placed plants in pots can create a cosy and inviting atmosphere. Look at seasonal flowers that do well all summer, adding colour and brightness to your space.
With the clocks going forward, it’s the perfect time to invest in solar lighting for your garden. Not only will it help you make the most of the longer days, but it will also provide a sustainable and cost-effective way to illuminate your outdoor space. So, get ready to spring forward and enjoy your garden to the fullest!
