Gardens
Should you have a garden that's big enough, it makes sense to put in a garden room if you need a home office, somewhere to put growing kids, sprightly grandparents or overnight guests, or you need a place to escape to. We're nearly in 2021 and sheds ain't what they used to be you know |

The promise of warmer weather means we can look forward to enjoying time in the garden after a winter of being cooped up. And even if we have only a tiny outside space, we can make it appealing with a few simple steps |
Our summers are getting hotter it must be said..which may spur you into wanting some olive trees for your garden or deck. Ah but won't they just die given the UK's still unpredictable climate? |
