Well summer’s nearly over and to be honest I never much noticed it had arrived!  But let’s make the most of the last few weeks by using the garden to its full potential.  Whether you have a lawn the size of a postage stamp or acres of grass outside, with a bit of careful planning and clever design we can all have a peaceful haven outdoors…

I can’t stress enough how lighting can make such a difference in your garden.  From candles to string lights… get some now!

Throws are a garden necessity in the UK with our ever-changing weather!!

Rattan furniture and accessories are perfect for outdoor use and looks rather stylish too! 

A colourful cushion will brighten-up even the smallest of spaces and won’t break the bank

All items can be purchased from Burford online.
