The nice weather is coming again, so it’s high time to get outside. If you have a garden, you know that moment when the weeds slowly come up again. Slowly but surely, nature is coming back to life. As a proud garden owner, you are a weed killer and a shaper of nature at the same time. But besides nature in your garden, there is still a lot that you can form.

At the end of this article you will know how to shape your garden into your dream garden.

More than plants
Do not get me wrong; i like plants. But, there is more to a garden than nature and plants. Think, for example, of a wooden veranda, a roof or a garden house. All these elements give life and body to your garden.

Best of all?

Together, plants, garden and garden structure are in harmony. That is, if you use natural materials and are a bit creative. And if you’re not creative yourself, you can always use the internet. Here you will find everything you have left. But we digress. There is more than plants had we stayed.

Garden sheds, fences and canopies
I believe that garden sheds, fences and roofs provide extra body to your garden. I am talking about garden houses, fences and roofs that are made of natural and biological material.

Think with me for a moment: Gazebos with deep wood accents are not only beautiful to look at, but they are also practical. In addition, it is robust; a wall of nature as it were. If you like it you can also grow plants against it. It doesn’t have to, but it can.

The same goes for a fence. It is a wall of natural building material. And you can also process plants very well here. If you like it, you can choose to have it completely green, but personally I always like it when there is an alternation between the wood and the green of a fence. But that of course depends on your garden.

Finally we arrive at the roof. A roof is perhaps best combined with a beautiful garden. Gardening and a canopy go hand in hand if you do it right. You can perfectly bring back the natural contrasts of nature by using robust tree trunks as posts, but you can also work very well with a vegetable garden, for example.

In addition, a canopy gives the garden the most body in my opinion. It is a combination between a cozy den and an extension of your home. If that doesn’t sound right, then I don’t know what is.

Give yourself the pleasure
Sometimes a budget means that a garden house is not possible, but try to think in terms of solutions and allow yourself the pleasure of a beautiful garden. You don’t have to do the whole garden in one go, but you can also do it in small steps. Because I guarantee that a summer house or roof immediately gives your garden more character. How that character takes shape is up to you.
