If you are wanting to spruce up your garden a bit this year then you may be starting to plan how you want it to look. Having plants or trees in your garden can really help make it look colourful and help attract nature such as butterflies, birds and squirrels. Gardening has also been proven to be incredibly therapeutic.
If you are a bit of a novice at gardening, then you will want to start off with some easy plants and trees. Once you have mastered these you can then try and introduce more complex vegetation. Apple trees, believe it or not, are a great first tree to introduce into your garden. You don’t need to have acers of room as the dwarf options are perfect for borders. Be sure to buy a self-pollinating tree, otherwise it may not bear fruit.
A great shrub to use is a Buddleja. A Buddleja is an immensely hardy and low-maintenance flowering shrub which comes back year after year, grows quickly and looks beautiful. It is also a plant that butterflies love, which is why it is also often referred to as a butterfly tree. It will attract a huge number of butterflies into your garden and can be spread over a large area.
