Make your garden sell your home

2. All together

'For the best impact, group bigger pots in varying sizes and odd numbers,' says Julie Humphreys, from garden specialist Crocus. 'Choose evergreen plants for all year interest or ones that have a long flowering season.' Try these Bell jar pots (£129.99) from Crocus.

5. Water world

‘If outside space is restricted, work really hard to make the most of every inch’ says Charlie Comber of estate agents Hayman-Joyce. Create a focal point in your garden with a water feature, like this Mosaic solar powered (£74) find from Amazon.

6. Quick fix

'Planting herbs is another great way to update a garden,' says Holloway. 'Use nice simple containers.' To increase chances of a speedy sale why not try this Large ceramic pot and base (£5) from the Garden Trading Company. Fill your garden with the scent of herbs.

7. Scrapheap challenge

'Excess junk, debris and garden rubbish is an absolute no when selling a property,' says Roly Peto from Property Vision. This handwoven garden tidy (£59.95) from Crocus is ideal for hiding unsightly objects such as wheelie bins but also gives a rustic country feel to even the most urban of gardens.

8. Rock garden

Think outside the box and add extras to your garden. Try these outdoor 15W wireless speakers (£119) from I Want One of Those, to bring your sounds outside discretely. With a range of up to 100 metres, they're the ultimate accessory for a 21st Century garden.

9. Reflections

‘Clever use of mirrors and ornamental arrangements of flower beds enhance a garden,’ says Robert Bailey of Robert Bailey Property. Even if your outside space is teeny weeny, there's a lot you can do. This Mirror - Illusion window (£109.95) from Crocus creates the impression of space by appearing to be an open window looking into another part of the garden.

10. Fruitful

'For plants that have an instant impact, any fruit trees are good,' advises Holloway. 'Fig trees are nice, because they look great up against a wall and the figs are edible too.' Fill your garden with edible goodies for an instantly inviting look with this 'fig carica' (£39) from Not on the High Street.
