When we bought out first house, the garden was a mess and couldn't be used in the condition it was in. Money was tight, but we still wanted an outdoor space we could enjoy and invite friends over to enjoy with us. I started learning how to do the work that was required myself, and over a period of a couple of months, I laid new turf, replaced the fence with reclaimed wood, created a flowerbed border using cuttings from friends and neighbours and used second-hand pavers to create a patio for outdoor dining. I felt such a strong sense of accomplishment when the garden project was finished, and I started this blog to share what I learned with others who want to transform their outdoor space without breaking the bank. I hope you find my blog interesting and useful.
