Late summer in England heralds handsome gluts of bountiful garden harvests. Home growers are busy prepping fruit and vegetables for what will soon be groaning freezers, bagging seeds and generally having an outdoor clear up in readiness for the more inclement months ahead.

Do you covet a cosy hearth and spend the darker months drawn to flickering flames of a revived fireplace or newly installed state-of-the-art wood burning stove? Now’s the time to consider your stove or open fire set-up.

Introducing portable planters to a garden or previously barren area presents some exciting planting possibilities. Instant gardens can spring up in boring back yards and border hitherto dull patios. Doorways and other entrances can be enhanced with pretty potted climbers for a warm welcome.

We’ve plucked just a handful of hard working candidates for seasonal window boxes in the UK. Explore the looks on our metal window boxes pinterest board.

So you’d like to tackle that bare wall, create more privacy, keep peering neighbours at bay, divide and conquer bleak and barren areas of the garden, resurrect a small outdoor space.

It was only last week, whilst glued to ‘possibly’ the greatest garden show on earth that we spied our zinc galvanized canopy in Sean Murray’s show garden on Main Avenue!

Bring colour and fragrance to your garden at different levels this summer by adding elegant climbing plants using a wall trellis.

The garden has come to fulfil more functions than ever: play area, dining area, storeroom, vegetable patch. So how is it best to divide your outside space?

Do you wish your garden had more privacy, yet don’t want it to feel like a fortress? A wall top trellis is a great way to add a decorative element to a plain wall or fence and to create privacy.

An attractive gate is an inviting addition to your garden and can be practical, merely decorative, or both.
