Smell the ̵lowers
Our gardens can provide us with a moment of comfort when we need it most – just like
There are so many reasons to treasure your outdoor space, not least because it offers you a chance to escape the everyday and while away the hours in your own carefully curated haven. Happily, Werther’s Originals can help conjure those same fuzzy feelings.
Made with real butter, fresh cream and a whole lot of love, Werther’s are all about finding a little piece of warmth – one delicious caramel at a time. And between the irresistibly oozy Creamy Filling, the wonderfully chewy Creamy Toffee and the classic Butter Candy, there really is a Werther’s Original for everyone and every occasion.
Of course, enjoying a Werther’s moment is just the start. Here are some other ways you can make your day feel that little bit brighter.
Build a bee hotel
We have a lot to thank bees for, so why not show them some love with a bee hotel? They can provide great nesting sites for female solitary bees, who are not aggressive and are highly unlikely to sting. Unlike social bees (bumblebees and honeybees), solitary bees nest individually, laying eggs in hollow stems such as bamboo, teasel and sunflower stems.
Create extra ambience with lighting
Given winter can keep us separated from our gardens for longer than we’d like, it’s only natural to want to enjoy as much al fresco fun as possible in the warmer months. If you want to stay outside long after the sun goes down, try experimenting with outdoor lighting. For a cosy ambience, it doesn’t get much better than solar-powered fairy lights.
Grow a herb garden
Make your garden a treat for the senses with a herb garden. Herbs are beautifully fragranced and they can be used in cooking, teas, cocktails and herbal remedies. Plus, they often have beautiful foliage and flowers, which makes them attractive to pollinators. If your outside space is limited, try growing them in a large container or a window box.
Feed the birds
Gardens are great for helping us connect to nature – and feeding the birds is a sure-fire way of attracting more wildlife to your outside space. Not only will it encourage more beautiful birds for you to admire, but you’ll also help keep them well fed. Perhaps you could even enjoy a Werther’s Original while you relax outside and watch them?
Take on an upcycling project
Having somebody compliment your garden is always lovely, but it’s especially nice when the compliment is about something you’ve created yourself. Whether it’s making a seating area out of unwanted pallets or using an old bottle to create a hanging planter, the garden is full of upcycling opportunities that are sustainable and so fun to do!
