Winter is in full swing. Bare trees, cold temperatures and long, dark evenings. Even in winter, you can fully enjoy your own garden. The cold gives way to warmth and cosiness. Cosy lights, warm rugs and colourful plants. With these 4 tips, you will know how to brighten up your winter garden.
1. Hardy plants
When you think of plants and winter, you think of frost. There is a solution to that, namely: hardy plants. These plants can tolerate frost well. By purchasing these types of plants, you will maintain colour in your winter garden. Which plants you choose is, of course, entirely up to you. When choosing hardy plants, get advice from specialists.
2. Atmospheric accessories
Dress up your garden with winter decoration. For example, through flower pots, which can make the garden even more lively with their striking colours. Do you have a veranda? Consider matching lighting, such as dimmable LED lights, lanterns or cosy candles. Or place a pretty pot of (dried) flowers on a small table. Get some warm blankets ready for those cold winter evenings.
3. Warmth in the winter garden
Place a fire basket in the backyard for the ultimate winter atmosphere. The crackling fire creates a nostalgic feeling. Surround yourself with friends or family and have a fun day. Warm yourself up with a soft fleece blanket. Do you have a veranda? Then make sure the fire is at a safe distance from the veranda.
4. Give animals a hand
Winter is a cold month for animals, too; food is scarce. Help animals through the winter, for example by providing some water or bird feed. Hang a peanut butter house in your garden and enjoy the life that birds bring to your garden.
