Where Is Zone 7 Gardening

Whether you have a sprawling garden or a small city balcony, creating zoned areas will help you make the most out of your space and optimise its functionality.

"There are lots of creative ways to break up your plot with recycled materials, screens and new plants," Chris Bonnett from GardeningExpress.co.uk says. "Seeing your garden as another room of your home is helpful when zoning. Think about what you would like closest to the house.

"Whether you need a relaxing spot to read the newspaper, or a play area for burning off steam, these tips will help you achieve it on a budget."

Take a look at how you can zone your garden without breaking the bank...

1. Focus on a dining area

With warmer weather on the horizon, now is the perfect time to create an outdoor dining area that wouldn't look out of place on Instagram. "Carving some space in the garden for an area to eat alfresco will be appreciated in the summer months," Chris says.

"Place the area where you have existing hedgerows as they are great at absorbing noise, so you can enjoy dinner without interruption from the outside world. Patio sets are costly but can be found cheap on local community online selling sites, especially during the spring and autumn."

2. Privacy

Looking to create a peaceful, private haven? Chris suggests: "Creating a privacy screen is the ultimate easy garden DIY project to gain a concealed area. Apart from nails and a hammer, the quirky yet functional partition can be made solely out of out of old doors or wooden pallets."

Alternatively, beautiful climbing plants like a colourful clematis or ivy planted along a garden fence will create a private space and a great place to nature spot. Why not give it a go?

3. Create a safe space for children

Encourage your children to head outside this summer with pop-up tents, magical play areas or a table tennis station. "Creating an area where kids can let off steam is ideal for those will little ones. Move old outdoor toys into this space to declutter the rest of the garden," suggests Chris.

Top tip: Use the summer holidays to build a bug hotel with your little ones. Providing crucial habitats for insects, these can be easily created using materials such as straw, dry grass and hollow plant stems.

4. Somewhere to relax

"When zoning your garden, think about where an extra space could be added to relax in," says Chris. "There are nooks of space in most gardens to create a small relaxation area. Hang a hammock in between a pair of trees to unwind in privacy or place an arbour over an existing seating area to create more shelter. Solid wood arbours are quite expensive, so for a cheaper aesthetically pleasing arbour, cover a plastic arch in jasmine, or evergreen honeysuckle climbers."

5. Keep your space tidy

Clear away clutter this summer by tidying away toys, tools, bikes and furniture items not in use. If you don't have a shed or garage, consider purchasing an external storage box to keep your belongings safe and tucked out of sight. It's a surefire way to elevate your garden in no time.
