Create an awesome outdoor space with the garden centre
Walmart Canada has an extensive outdoor garden centre to help you with all of your lawn care needs. Large outdoor power equipment like lawnmowers, edge trimmers, and electric shears make it easy to keep your property looking its best. Smaller gardening tools like pruning shears, scissors, and spades are ideal for finessing the small garden beds or bushes along your front walkway. You can easily cut back growth and prep your rose and lilac bushes for spring with sharp tools and durable gardening gloves that will protect your hands from thorns.
Visit a garden centre in Canada
Walmart Canada has plenty of garden centres in-store, as well as a digital garden centre online. You can shop in-store and online for many items that will make it easy to start and maintain an outdoor garden, or a lawn. Fertilizers are ideal for providing plants and grass with nourishment, and some have included spray nozzles for simple application. Weed killers make it easy to eradicate pesky plants and harmful weeks from your property. Easily maintain your new lawn with automatic sprinklers that spread water in the early morning hours, before the sun comes up. This will help make the most of the water, as it has a chance to be absorbed before it evaporates in the heat of the day.
Building an outdoor garden
You can find everything from potting soil to plant pots that make it easy to add some greenery to your outdoor space. Different types of plants require different types of soil, like succulents and cacti that grow better in more porous dirt and sand. Seedlings and tiny flowers often prefer nursing soil that's denser and high in nutrients. Depending on where you live in Canada, you may choose to place these plants directly into the earth or keep them in outdoor planters that you can cover or move indoors when the temperature drops. Raised garden beds are great for beginner gardeners that aren't yet experienced with managing drainage and keeping away pests. You can also purchase a self-watering planter that helps you manage the moisture in your garden.
Furnish your patio with outdoor furniture
Once you have your lawn and garden looking the way you want, you may want to upgrade your outdoor patio furniture to match. Patio dining tables are a classic way to bring the family together for an outdoor meal. Many patio dining tables have a space for an umbrella in the centre that will offer some shade in the peak of the summer. Outdoor conversation sets have a more laid-back feel, offering a place to not only stretch out and enjoy your outdoor space but also a spot for friends to join in a relaxing afternoon outside. You can increase the amount of time you can enjoy your outdoor space with the addition of a fire pit that not only acts as a conversation piece but also provides warmth. With a gas fire pit, you can sit outside late at night, and enjoy your new and improved yard during the shoulder seasons.
