WIN! £ 500 TO SPEND AT GARDEN TRADING

SPRUCE UP YOUR OUTDOOR SPACE WITH THIS FANTASTIC PRIZE FROM THE HOME, OUTDOOR & LIGHTING EXPERTS

Outdoor space comes in all shapes and sizes, from a container-dotted patch of paving to a sun-trap rooftop, or a sprawling lawn flanked by blousey beds. Whatever space you have, Garden Trading has everything you need to make the most of time spent alfresco. Alongside plants and containers in all shapes, sizes and materials, you’ll find lighting, practical or pretty, as well as garden furniture on a scale from lazy to formal, for dining, for lounging (we love this Marden corner sofa set, above), and for soaking up summer evenings, lost in a book.

MADE TO LAST

Only offering products of the very best quality, Garden Trading uses innovative materials to ensure all its designs will stand the test of time – from planters that are frost resistant to -20C, to outdoor lighting that’ll withstand the elements. Its garden furniture is pretty robust, too. Take Garden Trading’s Chilson table (above left); crafted from cement fibre, this urban, contemporary design is as durable as it is striking.

BEYOND BORDERS

Containers, such as these fibre clay Bathford planters (above), allow you to bring colour and fragrance to your space in an instant. Opt for cut and come again blooms, like sweetpeas, or fragrant sun-lovers, such as lavender or rosemary. Plants, however, aren’t the only way to add character. You could dress up your garden with something as easy as a string of lights, or create a focal point for a party with a firepit.
