Summer is here which means that you are spending more and more time in your garden.
While the sun is what you are there for, you may notice that your outdoor space is a bit drab without any colour or comfort.
So how can you transform your outdoor space into something special?
Plants and pots
One easy way to really change the feeling of your garden is to add some unique plant pots which will add real personality.
Whether it be our range of multicoloured pots or our more traditional ones, there are plenty of options.
Heat from the sun will help warm bees in the morning and this will also help prevent the components from going mouldy. Place your bee hotel at least one metre above ground level to ensure no vegetation is blocking the tunnels.
Plant bee-friendly flowers underneath your hotel to give them a nearby food source. It is best to plant a variety of flowers and plants which will provide pollen and nectar throughout the year.
Bee’s may not take up residence in your first year, but they will use your hotel if you have some patience. You will know when they are taking residency as the entrance to the tunnels will become block with mud or leaves.
Barrel planters are very popular at the moment, and we have found that a lot of our customers really value that more rustic look.
There are many types of pots for you to choose from though which can really change the dynamic of your outdoor living space.
Furniture
Garden furniture is vital to changing the feel of your outdoor space, and comfortable seating can really make a difference.
You are far more likely to spend time outside if you are comfortable. Reading a book with a glass of wine is far more relaxing with a comfortable seating arrangement.
While the Lombok garden set is perfect for conversation, you may want to consider our zero gravity sun loungers.
The loungers are very comfortable and are perfect for catching a tan – the only issue is that you might fall asleep!
Outdoor activities
BBQs and fire pits have been a lifesaver during the Covid pandemic, as people have been spending more time at home.
Our cast iron fire pits are the perfect size for parties and will provide heat during the evening when it gets a bit chillier!
They are also perfect for roasting marshmallows.
If the fire pits aren’t for you, then you might consider a traditional BBQ.
BBQs are the perfect way to feed a large group of people while keeping everyone socialising together. We have a wide range of choices for you to consider.
Lighting
The other thing to consider with your garden is how you plan on lighting it up in the evening, and we find that the best option for our customers is always solar lights.
Solar lights require no maintenance, and rely on the sun to power themselves through the night. That means there is no cost involved once you have purchased them.
