Chumasande MatiwaneLooking for some fun ways to spruce up your garden activities. Whether you’re the proud owner of raised garden beds or are just looking to add a little seasonal decor to your outdoor garden. With a few simple garden crafts, you can take advantage of being out and about in your garden.
Maximising space with artful raised beds
Maximising your garden space with creative, artful raised beds. A creative bed can look dull in the garden. Get creative with the galvanised steel raised beds by painting them in colourful colours. The beds could even be filled with a nice colour which blends well with your garden’s style. Even the plants you cultivate on the raised beds can add to the artfulness. Combine different succulents, a few perennials, and vegetables to make the raised beds pop.

Use stones/ rocks
Using nothing but rocks and some paint, you can make a set of beautiful garden markers to label all of your plants. All you need to do is look for rocks or stones that have flat surfaces so you can paint on. These have to be smooth or textured. This could be a fun activity to do with your kids. Sketch out some designs on them with paint. These garden labels can help you and your kids easily notice the plants in your garden.

Create beaded sun catchers
Sun catchers are a gorgeous addition to any garden or patio, as you can make them yourself with beads and some twine. Use various lengths of clear twine to create a mobile-style arrangement of beaded strings. This could be another activity to try out with your kids. The goal of a beaded sun catcher is to disperse the sunlight, creating a sparkly mobile that reflects light around your garden. So look for clear beads and cut them into crystals, so the light can shine through them.
