Summer is the season where nature ultimately displays itself courtesy of the palatable solar rays which consistently shine on flowers and other plants revealing their natural colour. Since gardens exquisitely thrive in such conditions, it is advisable to have your garden at its best during this time. It is the most ideal season to flaunt a colourful and thoughtfully designed garden. Your garden also needs to be gorgeous and well-organized because you family may be spending most of the summer outdoor time in it. It would otherwise be quite embarrassing hosting a summer barbeque in an untidy and dull garden. Fortunately, you do not have to hire professionals to design and organize your garden. You can efficaciously improve it through simple and worthwhile DIY projects. Here are some simple ideas meant to give your garden a fresh, pleasant look: Paint Some Rocks

In addition to the grass and flowers rocks are another element which is in plenty in and around the garden. They should not be left lying haphazardly around the garden since this is hazardous and makes the garden look untidy. You should rather thoughtfully include them in the overall garden design. For instance, they could be neatly arranged along the paths and garden hedges. A more creative solution to the rocks is painting them to add more colour and magnificence to your garden. The colours should however be carefully chosen to ensure that they match with the flowers and the garden vegetation. Ensure that you use sturdy water proof paint which remains in tact in different climatic conditions.
Introduce Hanging Glass Jar Lanterns 
Glass lanterns can really liven up a garden
Hanging flower pots could be ingeniously coupled with glass jar lanterns which are especially useful in improving the garden’s ambience at night. However, you do not have to shop for glass lanterns especially if you have several unused glass jars around the house. The jars can be easily converted into glass jar lanterns and hanged in strategic corners around the garden. For the central part of the garden, erected posts would be quite effective in firmly holding the lanterns.
Build Beds 
Tyre planters, painted up, sure to grab someone’s attention.

Tyres are quite handy and convenient in handy in making beds where flowers and other garden plants can be planted. Medium sized tyres are ideal for most gardens since they do not occupy a lot of space and can hold a sizable amount of soil.
