| Relaxing in the garden... |
|
It is great to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labours.
Furnishing is important and the choice of produc is now wider
than ever. Furniture needs to meet a variety of criteria.
It has to be both functional and decorative, and it also needs
to be durable to withstand our British climate.
Something practical and inexpensive such plastic or resin
chairs and tables etc. can offer good value - look out for
items made from recycled plastics (we are currently seeking
a local supplier!). There are many colour ranges available
and the only maintenance required is a wipe over with a damp
cloth and detergent.
If you have a bigger budget, furniture made from natural wood
is excellent. Always check that it comes from a sustainable
source. If you can avoid imported hardwoods, so much the better.
Willow is another excellent choice for items such as fencing.
Fast growing, it was once commonly used and is now regaining
its past popularity.
