THE GREAT OUTDOORS
Last month's Bank Holiday saw many of us soaking up the sun in our own back gardens, and with many on furlough leave, working from home or on reduced hours, lots of us are turning to home renovations and DIY to pass the time – particularly within the garden.

egardless of the status of your self-build or home renovation project, many of us are drawing our attention to the half-finished jobs in our gardens from last year. As the sun shines that bit brighter, our garden negligence is in full sight; whether it's an abandoned flowerbed, patchy off-colour lawns or 'breadcrumb' trails of building material remnants dotted around your site, we're all starting to feel a slight tinge of guilt when it comes to our outdoor spaces. With such promising weather to look forward to and with all of us restricted on venturing too far from our homes, now's a I-B U I L D/ M AY/20
perfect time for a spot of online shopping for your back garden. Plus, as we're all craving alfresco outings, it's important to create comfortable and enjoyable spaces where we can enjoy some fresh air, make the most of the upcoming summer months and appreciate outdoor family life. If you're unable to hire any builders or landscapers for groundwork and landscaping due to the Coronavirus outbreak, you can still start moulding your outdoor scheme with some chairs, tables, stools, plants and other designs. Here, we've collated the perfect accessories and furniture to start your scheme off.
