Summer is the perfect time to refresh your garden and make the most of the warm weather. At Aumann’s, we have everything you need to create a vibrant, thriving outdoor space. Here are some summer garden ideas to inspire your next project:
1. Create a Summer Colour Palette
Brighten up your garden with summer flowering plants like marigolds, petunias, and salvias. For a touch of Australian native beauty, consider kangaroo paw or grevilleas, which thrive in the heat and attract pollinators like bees and birds.
2. Set Up a Veggie Patch
Take advantage of the longer days to grow your own produce. Summer is great for tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchinis, and basil. Aumann’s has high-quality seedlings and soil to get you started, plus plenty of advice for first-time gardeners.
3. Install a Vertical Garden
Make use of small spaces by installing a vertical garden. Fill it with cascading plants like ferns, creeping figs, or colourful flowers. Ask our team about wall planters and easy-care plant options to suit your space.
4. Shade and Shelter
Protect your plants (and yourself!) from the summer sun. Add shade cloths, pergolas, or umbrellas to your garden. Aumann’s also offers a range of hardy plants like agapanthus and succulents that can withstand direct sunlight.
5. Outdoor Entertaining Zones
Transform your garden into a relaxing oasis with outdoor furniture, fairy lights, and potted plants. Consider fragrant options like gardenias or lavender to create a welcoming atmosphere for evening gatherings.
6. Conserve Water
Sustainability is key in summer gardening. Mulch your garden beds to retain moisture and install a drip irrigation system for efficient watering. Check out our range of water-wise plants to reduce your garden’s water needs.
7. Attract Wildlife
Encourage native wildlife with birdbaths, flowering natives, and bee hotels. A wildlife-friendly garden not only looks great but helps the environment too.
