SPRING is just around the cor-
ner and now is the time many
homeowners look to revamp
their home and gardens.
Maybe you are thinking of do-
ing some DIY with a spruce up
job by either painting and deco-
rating the inside of your home
or maybe replanting or bringing
some interest into your garden.
Visit local businesses to get
an idea of what is on offer and
make use of their expert staff
who are willing to give advice on
projects regardless of size.
Whether laying a new patio,
introducing a water feature or
just looking to tidy up the bor-
ders, now is the time to make the
preparations so you have a gar-
den to be proud of by the time
the sun shines this summer.
Having the right tools for the
job is essential if you want to
avoid making a botch of any DIY
projects inside your home.
Most stores have leaflets offer-
ing basic ideas and what goods
to buy, although paint choice
and wallpapers are very much
an individual preference.
Take time to do the job prop-
erly and you will reap the ben-
efits for years to come. Spring
is the time of regeneration, so
say goodbye to winter blues and
spruce up your surroundings.
Spring into action at home

Skys the limit when adding height
YOU have heard the phrase if you cant
build out, build up and when it comes
to your garden whatever its size us-
ing your vertical space more effectively
means the skys the limit on how much
extra interest and colour youcanachieve.
Planting up instead of outwards makes
better use of ground space, and is rela-
tively easy and affordable to achieve.
Whats more, a garden designed with
height in unexpected places is always
more interesting than one thats largely
flat. Planting small trees and shrubs
are one option; but for attractive struc-
tural impact, why not add a selection of
obelisks, trellis or tall planters to catch
the eye in otherwise uninteresting spots,
coupled with your favourite flowering or
evergreen climbers.
Four of the best growing up ideas
1. Tiered planters: Cascade-type out-
door planters are a versatile and unusual
way of adding colour and height to your
garden or patio. Forests Cascade Planter
(RRP 79.99) offers three, tiered troughs,
providing ample space to create your
own waterfall of flowers, trailing plants,
strawberries or herbs.
2. Obelisks: An obelisk makes a wel-
come addition to
any island bed or
border. Forests
contemporary-style
Round Obelisk
new for 2014 - (RRP
39.99) can be
complemented by
climbing plants or
vegetables.
3. Trellis: An in-
credibly simple
and inexpensive
way of getting the
designer vertical
gardening look at a
fraction of the cost
is Forests Framed
Willow Trellis (RRP
24.99/29.99 de-
pending on size).
Fix against a wall
and train with
clematis or a climb-
ing rose or use
as a decorative top
for fence panels to
turn your wall into
a high-rise garden
oasis.
4. Planters: Plant-
ers too can offer an
added dimension.
The roomy Venice
Planter (RRP 184.99) from Forest fea-
tures an integrated, decorative trellis
that makes a firm, attractive support for
your taller plants or vegetables.
Forests garden structures are available
from garden centres across the country.
Made from Forest Stewardship Council
(FSC) certified softwood, they are pres-
sure treated to last an expected 15 years,
and come flat packed where relevant for
easy assembly. Home delivery is also
available on selected items at a small ex-
tra charge. For your local stockists, and
more ideas for adding vertical interest
to your garden, visit www.forestgarden.
