24th February 2022

As the days grow longer and we slowly move into spring, it’s time to start planning changes to our gardens ready to enjoy during the warmer months. Whether it’s new garden furniture, a hot tub or a built-in barbeque, let’s take a look at how to make a summer garden.

How to make a summer garden

1. Outdoor lighting

Thinking about how to make a summer garden? Soft outdoor lighting can help set the mood and create a welcoming atmosphere for your summer garden.

Try draping fairy lights around your seating area, or hanging solar-powered lanterns from branches of nearby trees and shrubs. Choose garden lights which are specifically for outdoor use so that they are better sealed to keep the moisture out.
