LANTERNS (ON TABLE, DECK AND FENCING) ALL LIGHTS4FUN.CO.UK parsley - there is also some interest for early spring with lots of daffodils, hellebores, muscari and tulips. Either side of the lawn, a more formal, framing effect is achieved using boxus - it’s literally instant impact and really helps enforce those tidy lines. Alongside the borders, we really wanted a tree in the mix too - so we ordered a lovely small silver birch from primrose.co.uk - it moves in the breeze so beautifully. We can pot it on as it grows and eventually plant it in the garden of a future home. THE DECK LOOKS AMAZING - IS IT A SUN TRAP? Absolutely! We were adamant that we wanted something low maintenance so we went for composite decking from a company called NeoTimber - in essence it has the natural look of wood to without the associated problems of cracking, splitting, warping and excessive maintenance requirements. It also had a 25 year residential warranty which was perfect for us as we can make the best of it now, but when we move it also gives the new owner peace of mind. We went for the Essential range which is hollow in the centre - it makes it really lightweight and by extension really easy to fit. It’s also crazily cost effective at £6.25 per linear metre! It has given the space such an elevated look. THAT FURNITURE IS AMAZING! We really lucked out with these! Good garden furniture is a little hard to come by at the moment, but as soon as we saw the Salone range from Moda Furnishings, we knew it was the right one. Its modern lines look perfect against the tumbled Bath stone walls and the configuration of this set was the perfect size for our space. Continuing on the low maintenance scheme, it was essential this was furniture that could stand up to the elements, not lease because we don’t have room inside www.minervamagazines.co.uk | 23
