The world can be quite a chaotic place, and it is important to find a safe place to retreat. In all the hustle and bustle of our daily routines, it can be difficult to switch off.
Having a safe, tranquil space in your garden can be a fantastic way to destress, unwind and reflect. It can give you the opportunity to recharge, rejuvenate, and renew.
Take a look at this short guide to explore creative new ways to make your garden the tranquil haven you so desperately need.
Steps to make your garden into a tranquil haven:
1. Invest in plants and shrubs.
Greenery is wonderful. Plants provide us with essential oxygen. They are beautiful to look at, and watching them grow and develop can be an incredibly fulfilling and rewarding experience.
* If your garden space is looking a little bare, get some plants and place them anywhere you like. If you don’t have any grass, plants can be a fantastic way to brighten up a space.
* Use pots or, if you have borders and fertile ground, put some plants into the ground and watch them grow.
* Use different colors and types of plants to brighten up the area. Use different sizes to create height, levels, and variation.
2. Be self-sufficient.
One fantastic way to create a safe, tranquil garden space is to create a vegetable patch.
* Research ways to grow vegetables and dedicate a patch of your garden to this project.
* If you don’t have grass or only have a small garden space, you can invest in a portable greenhouse and keep your plants safe from the elements.
* You could grow beans, tomatoes, carrots, potatoes; the list is extensive. You can prepare delicious meals knowing you grew the ingredients.
* From a health point of view, you’ll feel safe in the knowledge that insecticides and pesticides haven’t been used and your produce is fresh and natural.
3. Accessorize.
Invest in some wind chimes to allow the natural sounds of the elements soothe you as you sit in your tranquil space.
* Consider investing in a swinging bench or a small table. Alternatively, find some furniture that allows you to sit, relax and unwind. Perhaps invest in a small fountain.
* You’ll want something that makes you comfortable and reflects your personality. If you feel relaxed, then you’ll be able to unwind properly.
* Invest in a firepit for times of relaxation and, when the mood takes you, the opportunity to socialize.
4. Create a tranquil ‘den’
Consider buying some solar-powered fairy lights, (which are great for the environment, as they only require the sun's natural energy for power) or some solar-powered lamps.
* When you are sitting outside, you will be comforted by naturally produced light, allowing your garden space to be used at different times of the day.
5. Create a covered space.
If you are thinking of spending a lot of time in your garden, then create a small, covered area or invest in a small hut or summer house to be shielded from the elements.
* When it is a little bit cold or stormy, you can still enjoy your garden.
* Alternatively, create a small area of covered decking, where you can sit, peacefully, enjoying your garden whatever the weather brings.
The best part of being in a tranquil garden is enjoying the opportunity to be at one with nature. Get accessorizing and transform your garden into a tranquil haven!
