Having a garden is a lovely hobby. Getting stuck in nature, digging, watering, pruning. Gardening also means believing in tomorrow. We don’t remember who coined that phrase, but we see a lot of truth in it. Thinking seasons ahead while planting Spring bulbs or sowing seeds that one day will carry ripe fruit requires not only a whole lot of patience but also optimism. Rewarded with a bounty of blooms and vegetables Summer is when gardener’s joys reach their peak. Whether it’s your patch, a balcony, or an allotment you’re tending to – we have selected some of our favourite products that add fun and character to your gardening project.
Ceramic Mushrooms and Terracotta Herbs
These ceramic mushrooms are perfect for funghi fans and garden lovers alike. Handmade in small batches in North Wales, each piece is unique and full of character – a simple way to add charm to your balcony planter or windowsill garden. If you’re growing your own herbs you should not miss out on these beautiful terracotta signs. From basil to sage – we’re obsessed with these clay tags.
Treats for Gardener’s Hands
After a stint of gardening, tired hands want to be treated well. The gentle but effective Gardeners Soap by Norfolk Living will get your paws polished. If you’re more into soap bars we suggest the Farmers Market Soap with exfoliating qualities. To soften those roughened areas, apply some nourishing hand cream afterwards.
Something for the Birds
Welcome new feathery friends to your green haven with this woven hanging bird house. With its rounded shape and two-toned seagrass this bird abode adds loads of character to the garden.
Brush and Relax
A multi-functional winner is what this little hand broom is. It works on worktops just as fine as on your balcony table. You’ll be surprised how much use you’ll get out of them. Another garden staple must be the checkered mattress, which gives comfort after a hard day’s work in the patch but equally serves as a squishy topper for benches, chairs, and sun loungers.
