To honour National Gardening Week (April 29 to May 5), Barratt and David Wilson Homes have released a set of gardening tips, aimed particularly at those adding personal touches to a new garden.
The guide comes just as many Britons are excited to return to their gardens and away from indoor living.
Senior sales manager at Barratt and David Wilson Homes, Steve Barton said: "For those who have recently purchased a property or are still house hunting, there are many easy ways to make your garden your own.
"After a long winter period, we are ready to enjoy the sunshine and make use of our gardens, so in the spirit of National Gardening Week we are encouraging homeowners to turn their gardens into more than just a beautiful space and grow their own veggie patch."
They have shared several important steps they include, selecting the right location for plants, starting with low maintenance plants, understanding individual plant needs, regular weeding and enjoying the process.
The company have also said it is important to know where in the garden gets the most sunlight.
Apart from contributing to mental and physical health, it also provides an avenue for families to engage in a fun activity together while enhancing their living space.
