Refresh new plants for summer

Bring new life to your garden by adding new plants. Opt for colourful flowers, fragrant herbs, or even some larger shrubs. Consider placing planters on your patio for a green accent. A lush garden contributes to the summery atmosphere.

Ensure adequate shade in the garden

Protect yourself from the intense summer sun by creating shaded areas. Think about a parasol, a pergola with climbing plants, or an awning above your patio. This way, you can enjoy your garden at any time of the day without overheating.

Extend your summer evenings with atmospheric outdoor lighting. Hang lanterns in trees, use string lights for a festive atmosphere, or invest in LED lighting for a modern look. Proper lighting not only makes your garden feel cosy but is also very functional during those warm summer nights.
