A shady oasis

There’s nothing better than going out to your garden, sitting in a chair or sun lounger and relaxing with a good book but the unpredictability of British weather can sometimes be a hindrance.

An awning is the perfect solution to beating the weather as it protects from a sudden downpour and provides shade on a roasting summer’s day.

The night garden

Lighting is one of the easiest ways to create a magical space that can be enjoyed when the sun has gone down.

Candles and lighting bring character to a garden at night and charm to a summer evening.

Use candles, lanterns and solar lights and place around your dining area to create ambience.
