It comes after gardening experts shared their top tips for revamping your backyard as BBQ season heats up.
'Early bloomers such as crocuses come in a variety of pinks, oranges, yellows, blues and purples, which are ideal for adding brightness and warmth to your garden,' she explained.
'These plants not only look beautiful in bloom, but are also perfect for attracting pollinators.'
The expert however warned against planting darker-hued flora - such as deep reds - as they 'will do the opposite and actually detract pollinators from your garden; so avoid this shade if you want your space buzzing with wildlife.
'Helleborus are another great addition to plant in your garden this time of year,' she suggested.
'With their green, pink and white blooms, these flowers will help brighten up any day, especially if you're planning for a BBQ and get met with rainfall instead!'
Meanwhile, luxury decking and landscaping expert, Simon Parr suggests adding lights to your garden to elevate its overall look.
'Add strings of solar lights or a selection of lanterns to highlight pathways, seating or special features,' he revealed.
'As well as helping to create a more relaxing atmosphere, this will also extend useable garden time long after dusk.'
Samantha Richards, a garden gazebo expert at Gazeboshop in Banbury revealed that a great way to elevate your scenery is by planting an array of colourful plants.
He said this crafty hack transforms any garden, no matter how small it is, adding that the key is to 'define' different areas with your garden space, as this ensures an immediate and total revamp.
'Consider separate areas for relaxing, cooking, dining and socialising,' Simon added. 'A pergola or deck could be perfect for creating the look and feel of an 'outdoor room'.
Gardening expert Richard King also shared his top tips for maintaining your new garden furniture, including using soft-bristle brushes to clean the chairs and tables before giving them a simple hose-down if needed.
