We have just moved house and I want to do as much as possible, as quickly as possible, to improve the kerb appeal of the house.
I would like to plant 2 silver birch trees in one hole in the front garden, very close to the boundary with the pavement and the path to add height and interest.
Can you tell me when I should plant these ideally? Would I be mad to try and buy and plant some at this time of the year? We bought a lovely silver birch for our old house (sob!) earlier this year from Aldi at Easter I think and it was just starting to get bigger.
We would also like to plant several lavendar plants alongside the front path to provide scent and colour. When is the best time to do this?
Also, I'd be grateful of any other ideas for the front garden please. We have to do it fairly cheaply, but with maximum impact.
Thankyou!
