A great garden can add to the enjoyment of your home. What’s more, it can also add value to its market price-up to 25% more in fact! If you are thinking of selling your home, or even if you are thinking of using this long weekend to create a stunning garden for you and the family to enjoy for years to come, tune in to Darren Senior’s DIY landscaping tips.

• If salt-laden breezes batter your home and make it almost impossible to enjoy your outdoor space or to grow anything in the garden, try planting some olive trees. They are easy to trim and can act as great privacy screens.
• Maintaining a theme in your garden is not just about plant selection; all aspects of the garden have to work really well together. Garden’s with a French Provincial theme will bring coolness and class to any garden. Additions like a wooden pergola, a selection of great looking ornamental, yet functional pots, and rustic, natural looking pavers will bring a touch of the French countryside to any garden.
• Try including plants that change with the season in your garden, providing your outdoor areas with surprises and a constantly changing outlook.
• Don’t be limited by the plants that are growing in your own garden; if you are lucky enough to have views of larger trees in your neighbor’s garden, see how you can incorporate their foliage into yours-you might be surprised by what you find!
• Having a focal point in the garden adds to visual interest, attracting the eyes of your visitors, and making the space feel bigger. It can be anything from garden bench, a great looking pot, a garden statue, garden art or even a water feature. 
• Having beautiful perfumed plants in any garden is always a bonus; overload your senses with beautiful looking, and beautiful smelling plants and you will never want to go inside.
