It often feels as though life is racing by at a ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ speed, and it has a habit of leaving no time to tackle those all-important projects that you’ve been putting off, especially in the garden. If you’re one of the many people that are prone to allowing garden projects to slip them by, it’s time to fight back and take control. The winter months will draw to a close shortly, which is the perfect time to start digging up weeds and planning your next DIY project. If you need inspiration, continue reading below. 

Build a Bird Feeder

If you’ve ever looked outside while the birds are flying back home, you’ll understand how calming they can be. Luckily, you don’t have to wait for birds to fly over your garden, since you can attract them with a sturdy birdhouse. With appropriate shelter in place, you can enjoy the charming chirp of the birds whenever you like. 

Create a Flowerbed

Flowerbeds help to add color to a garden and draw attention, and there’s no end to the colors you can have. Creating a flowerbed will involve digging up the soil, putting weed-proof sheets down, and refilling the space with the soil — then you’re ready to plant your chosen flowers. 

If you don’t have much green space in your garden, you can still create a pretty flowerbed using a standalone planter. Again, all you’ll need to do is place an underlay sheet and fill it with dirt. However, you must make sure that it’s got proper drainage, otherwise, too much water will build up and can damage the structure. 

Erect a New Fence

Fences stand against the elements for years, and they won’t last forever. Eventually, you will need to install a new fence, which will help to rejuvenate your garden. There are countless different types of fence materials and colors to choose from, so start deciding on the overall aesthetic of your garden. When you’re ready to make a purchase, simply search for a company specializing in fence supply St Louis. 

Make Some Honey

Bees are one of the most precious insects out there because they help to pollinate flowers, and they produce delicious honey. You can do your bit to protect them by building a bee house. You’re not going to be attracting swarms of bees and harvesting honey; you’ll simply be taking in the odd stray bee stopping for a comfort break. 

Put In a Pond

There’s plenty of research out there demonstrating that being near water has calming effects. Therefore, you should consider putting a pond into your garden. Granted, this is a sizeable project, and you may be busy at work all summer. Once you’ve laid down the groundwork, you can figure out what wildlife to introduce. 

Tackling and completing garden DIY projects will fill you with a great sense of fulfillment. However, after putting in all the hard work, you will need to maintain everything during the winter.
