Get Ready to Enjoy Your Garden Parties This Summer!

There’s little more beautiful than a garden in summer, although the rain that makes it so lush can often have you hiding indoors. Although orangeries are perfect all year round, having a decent garden facility in the summer gives ample opportunity to truly enjoy their benefits. Here are just a few ways you can enjoy your garden as summer comes into bloom.

Quiet Time With a Book

One of life’s little luxuries is some down time with a book and a cuppa while sitting in the garden. Instead of working your ‘me-time’ around the weather, kick back in your new patio and let the rain add a gentle backdrop to your reverie. It won’t even matter if you drift off to sleep.

A New Way to Dine

There’s not much more relaxing than a summer Sunday family brunch and your garden will give you ample opportunity to enjoy it in style. Patios can add an extra dining room to any sized home, allowing you to soak up those sunny summer mornings in an informal environment. Invite friends around for afternoon tea and show off your garden at the same time. What could be better?

A Spot of Stargazing

Whether you’re a romantic at heart or want to take the children on a tour to stargaze from the comfort of your home. Summer nights may be cool, but the skies can be crystal clear. Think of your garden as a private observatory without the expense.

Plan Your Garden Patio

Gardens can grow wild in summer, especially the grass. So considering the stones of your paving stones is something to consider. The gorgeous Portland stone step paving, the antique York stone look or the elite Granite for the eccentric feel. As you’ll spend a lot of time in your garden throughout the summer, now is a great opportunity to decide how to maximise the look of your garden. If you’re building a treehouse or a shed, you can create a beautiful paving path leading you to it.

A New Family Room

If you’re tired of the children being in front of the TV, let them take their toys into your garden for the day. Alternatively, designate the garden as a technology-free zone and use it for family conversations or a space to wind down before bedtime. Having the right amount of patio space allows tables and chairs seating outside so you can enjoy the summer heat with the children whilst sitting on table and chairs and not indoors. In this modern world it’s difficult to get children to engage with family or nature. Creating a special space that incorporates both will be something you’ll all cherish for years to come.
