How would you turn your backyard into a summer site?
-
Gail Salminen on Jun 22, 2014Water is always very relaxing, so perhaps a prefab pond with a few water plants. We also have a pool, but that can be expensive these days. We also have a couple gazebos (use inexpensive sheers around the sides for privacy and use cut off hockey sticks to anchor them) to relax under and an inexpensive chair/love seat set. Love to sit on the deck with my coffee or by the pond in the morning. Very relaxing. Of course plants also add to the atmosphere. Moving from indoors to outdoors or potting annuals adds colour and interest.Helpful Reply
