The IKEA haul your yard needs: 12 must-have essentials I recommend as an amateur gardener to get your spring garden in full swing

LÄRKAR2-piece gardening set.

As the cold, wintry weather starts to pass, I’m appreciating the sunnier days and am itching to get out in my yard to tidy it up. I have lots of ideas for the year ahead, but I’m planning to give it a facelift without spending a fortune.

IKEA might not be the first place you think of for gardening, but the store has a whole host of gardening products. What’s more, in true IKEA style, they are all budget-friendly.

I’ve pulled together my top 12 choices, starting from as little as $4. My top three recommendations include the DOFTRIPS Potting Mat to avoid messes, the attractive ÅKERBÄR Greenhouse, which can be used inside or out, and the KORKGRAN Galvanised Plant Pot, which I can picture filled with fresh green herbs.

And of course, once your yard is looking perfect, you'll need somewhere to store all your tools, which is where the KOLBJÖRN Cabinet comes in.
