As the weather is turning nicer, we want to spend more time outside. If you’re garden is feeling a little neglected after the harsh winter then you might be needing to spend some time making it your haven again. As a new home owner now is the time for me to be doing all those odd jobs around the house whilst the evenings are longer and the sun gives me more energy to get active.
