OUTDOOR Living

I’ve been a keen gardener since I was a small boy, when I had my own herb patch among the candytuft. That passion for cultivating the perfect plot – a constantly evolving project – has never left me. But it means that I occasionally need reminding – like many committed gardeners – to set aside my spade and take time to enjoy the fruits of my labours. This guide aims to do just that: prompt you to realise the potential of your outdoor living ‘rooms’. Over the next 28 pages, we show you how to create beautiful spaces in which to cook, dine, entertain, work or simply relax. Whether you want a summerhouse or seat on the lawn, you’ ll find everything you need to turn your plot into a haven for plants and people.
