1. Garden tools at the ready – it all starts with a tidy
First things first – before you start thinking about outdoor furniture and garden accessories, you’ll want to give your garden a quick spruce up. Tidying your outdoor space may seem like a chore, but it doesn’t have to take lots of time and money to get it right.
Mowing the lawn is one of the easiest ways to keep your garden looking trim and tidy for those all-important penalty shoot-outs and paddling pool parties. Our range of lawnmowers allow you to go cordless, as well as free up some space in your shed with a mower that stores vertically.
The Ryobi 18V cordless 33cm lawnmower kit, and the Kärcher LMO 18-36 lawnmower battery set both have adjustable heights and include an 18V 5.0Ah battery, so you are ready to mow freely. The Mac 18V 34cm lawnmower has six adjustable heights and can be stored vertically – leaving a space that will be filled in no time.
Of course, every garden looks at its best when the plants are healthy and blooming. Our favourite products of the season for a flourishing garden include our multi spray gun with one-handed thumb control, an oscillating sprinkler with integrated timer, or even an auto-reel anti-kink hose. Don’t forget - everything in our new range is made from 88% recycled plastic too!
2. Garden furniture sets for every occasion
No garden set up is complete without stylish outdoor furniture - it's crucial that you have somewhere cosy and comfortable to sit and bask in the sun. Whether you have a small garden, balcony, terrace, or large garden, we've got all the outdoor seating options you'll need to create the ultimate alfresco space. Think chic bistro sets to sit and have breakfast in the morning, and stylish 8-seater dining sets to have barbecues with the whole family.
Whatever your garden setup, our new range has everything you need to create your very own retreat. Our stylish Hamilton furniture has plenty of options, from a lounging sofa to a coffee table that rises to a dining table. Pssst - the hugely popular Apolima egg chairs are back with a new grey rope version, and a charming child-sized option to complete the ultra-stylish garden aesthetic. Don’t forget the outdoor cushions and outdoor rugs for even more comfort.
3. Our favourite inflatable spas for unwinding
Hectic lives deserve some downtime, and our new spas have all the features you’ll need for ultimate relaxation. There’s nothing quite like getting home from a busy day at work and heating up your hot tub for a quick soak. Step in and unwind, whether it’s a solo soak or you’re inviting the neighbours over to chat over bubbles.
Enjoy room for three with the St Lucia’s 110 AirJetTM massage system, or reserve space for a more sociable six, with the Hollywood’s 140 AirJetTM massage system, remote controlled LED lights and soft-touch pillows. The Cancun has a rattan-printed design for added style, and the Milan has Wi-Fi connection and foot massage. What a treat!
4. Don’t forget the all-important garden storage
Whether you’re a keen gardener or just want to declutter your sun-soaked spot, a tidy outdoors makes finding essentials easier and relaxing better. We all know that a tidy (outdoor) space equals a tidy mind – so get ready to shop new garden storage and sheds for a stress-free garden.
If you’re looking for an ideal garden storage solution that can hold ample amounts of storage without taking up too much space, we recommend the Keter Store-it-out ARC garden storage box. It features an easy-open lid that opens from the top or from the front as well as a sloped threshold, making it easy to roll out up to two 240L wheelie bins!
