Whether you want<br />
to spend time with<br />
friends, loved-ones,<br />
or on your own,<br />
your garden can<br />
become the place<br />
to retreat to<br />
Spring<br />
Sanctuary<br />
Firepit<br />
Very much like an indoor log fire,<br />
a fire pit provides the practical<br />
elements of light <strong>and</strong> warmth. But<br />
it does so much more than that. It<br />
becomes a focal point that brings<br />
everyone together or if you're on<br />
your own, it provides a evening-long<br />
companion. The sound of a small<br />
crackling fire can help bring calm<br />
to the garden - <strong>and</strong> it smells pretty<br />
good too!<br />

Bean bag<br />
A giant bean bag can be the perfect<br />
place to sit back <strong>and</strong> watch the<br />
afternoon slowly turn to dusk.<br />
Choose a heavy duty, waterproof<br />
bag that will last you through<br />
until autumn. Some bags are also<br />
available with memory foam fillings.<br />
Hanging Chair<br />
Nothing feels quite as calming as<br />
relaxing in a hanging chair. The<br />
sensation of floating above the<br />
ground is not one that's easily<br />
experienced in day-to-day life.<br />
Most hanging chairs come with a<br />
hanging frame whereas others will<br />
need to be secured to something<br />
solid to take the weight.<br />
Cushions are often included to<br />
make your hanging chair time a<br />
magical one.<br />
Dining set<br />
If you enjoy the company of friends<br />
or family, a dining set is a place to<br />
eat, talk <strong>and</strong> chill.<br />
Al fresco dining needn't be<br />
expensive either. Even a simple set<br />
of table <strong>and</strong> chairs will allow you<br />
<strong>and</strong> yours to enjoy a meal together.<br />
A survey of over 8,000 British<br />
adults found that connecting<br />
with others through social eating<br />
has one of the highest positive<br />
associations with well-being.
