Sitting at home isolating? Why not get out in the garden with our handy DIY Corona Virus Gardening Ideas…

1. Cut the Grass – yes it might sound a bit basic but it can actually be done every day. Patterns are something which could be worked on, simply by changing the cutting height of your lawnmower it is possible to do stripes or crisscross patterns as well as flags and all kinds of shapes.

2. Cut the Hedges – yep, a bit like the above some small topiary ideas which include castellated hedges, rounded corners, straight sided, pointed or natural and free flowing, cutting a hedges can require more than a hedge cutter such as snips and sheers as well as scissors are useful too.

3. Turn the Beds & Edges – getting neat and tidy can mean turning over the edges and sides of a garden. Weeding and making space for new plants as well as cutting round the edges of the garden or grass with an edging spade can make a space look much more presentable.

4. Plant Seeds & Saplings – planting new flowers, trees, bushes and saplings can change the face of a garden. Pick your spots to work on and think about some of the plants and flowers which might suit it. There is a variety of plants and flowers available for different settings including climbers and grasses.

5. Re-model the Whole Garden – Yep, scrap it and start again. Then scrap it and start again again… this could indeed prove a vital tactic for surviving an indefinite isolation.
