If you're not a gardening guru or love to spiff up your outdoor space with each season, then a garden can become just one of many jobs on your to-do list.

What if we told you there were ways of brightening your garden, with help from these low-maintenance garden ideas that'll suit any budget! 

Collect Rain Water

Collecting rainwater is a great way of saving money on watering plants. Especially if you've moved into a new house that already has lots of plants to tend to and care for (but weren't exactly your idea...). In the UK, we see over 133 days of rain a year. Think of all that free plant watering material you could collect!

Swap Divided Plants 

Want cheap, high-quality plants? Swapping divided perennials and grasses is a great way of introducing new plants to your displays without spending a penny. Many plants like perennials and grasses get quite bushy, and it's best to dig them up gently and essentially cut them in half, or 'divide' them to give them more space to thrive. 

You take the second half of your divided plant and grow it on somewhere else. But, if you share your halves with friends and family for their halves, you'll soon have a brand new and exciting display for less than ever before!

Low Maintenance Plants

Stuck for time? Want to spend less each season on plants? Low-maintenance plants are a great go-to for every garden. Many varieties of perennials or grasses care for themselves, meaning they can be popped into place and left to their own devices.

DIY Decking

When you think of a garden deck, you might assume that it takes a professional or two! That couldn't be more wrong. Even the most novice of DIY doers can pop together a few planks of wood, some screws, maybe some glue, and you've got yourself a nice deck space. 

Decks can be pulled together cheaply when done yourself. Plus, the changes in height can give you a nice change in perspective and a new space to decorate - whatever the size of your garden.
