From the 1st weekend of December Santa will be opening his doors to all your lucky children to find out what special presents are on their “Most Wanted” lists.

It’s time to get out and enjoy your garden again! Well… If your garden’s anything like mine, it will be looking messy and uncared for after the cold, wet, miserable few months we’ve had.

Oh dear… Well lucky for you, you’ve come to the right place. Below are some top tips on garden furniture ideas from the garden furniture specialists!

Christmas, birthdays, special occasions & anniversaries, we all love to receive gifts. Gifting to others is all part of the deal so if we want to keep of receiving those gifts, we are going to have to buy gifts too. When choosing a gift, obviously the occasion and who it’s for is going to play a large part in your decision and how much you want to spend. There are the usual places and websites you will probably look at but have you thought about buying garden furniture as a gift?

Purchasing garden furniture can be overwhelming with the amount of choices available. From different styles to textiles and materials, there is a wide range of garden furniture available to suit every budget. Where do you start? This handy guide should form the basis of your purchasing decision.

Weave as a material can survive all types of weather conditions so it can be left outside without having to worry about deterioration. This makes weave garden furniture sets so popular. Not only that but they are extremely comfortable. Check out our must haves for 2017.

Pergolas and gazebos are a great addition to a garden. Not only do they offer shade and privacy, they also can offer some protection towards your garden furniture. Follow these simple step by step instructions and video and avoid the most common mistakes made.

There’s no denying that Christmas is on its way and will very soon be upon us. If you haven’t already, it’s time to start your Christmas shopping, choose your tree and start mapping your Christmas décor and furnishings. One thing that is often overlooked, which can really add the WOW factor to your home, is Christmas lights and light up displays. Why limit your lights to just your tree, when you can light up your whole home and make it really stand out from the crowd!

It’s that time of year again… the nights are drawing in and you can feel the winter chill in the air. Summer now seems like a distant memory, but don’t despair… With winter comes Christmas and with Christmas comes DECORATIONS (one of our favourite things!). It’s time to start thinking about the big day, buying presents and checking whether your Christmas tree has survived the year in the attic

One of the many questions we get asked is “what garden furniture can be left outside?” Depending on the materials used, some types of garden furniture is better suited to the outdoor weather than others.

When it comes to deciding which type of garden furniture is best, there are so many choices available to satisfy different tastes and budgets. With such a wide range of styles & materials available, choosing a stylish dining set for entertaining friends & family, a sun lounger to enjoy the summer sun or even a simple bench where you can sit and unwind after a hard day’s work should not be too difficult with our buyers guide.

We are excited to reveal our new attractive outdoor space where you can sit down and relax or enjoy food from our highly rated café

If you are like me, you would have probably stored most of your garden furniture in the shed or garage this winter. Some of the larger or more hard wearing garden furniture would have been kept outside, perhaps with a water proof cover to protect it from the winter elements. Now spring is here, it’s the perfect time to start preparing your garden furniture for the summer.

A great way to add a little extra spice to your garden is to add a water feature. Water features are both soothing and aesthetically appealing. Many people agree that there’s nothing more relaxing than sitting on a bench in your garden, listening to the soothing sound of water trickling from the water feature while reading a good book. Adding a water feature to your garden can be fairly easy and relatively inexpensive. Depending on the type and size of water feature you go for, maintenance of your water feature does not need to take up too much of your time.

Just about any gardener has some form of gardening equipment. In fact, it is practically impossible to maintain a garden without using any gardening equipment whatsoever. The type of gardening equipment you will require will depend upon the size and layout of your garden, your personal gardening ability, the time you are willing to invest in your garden, and finally how much cash you are prepared to invest.
