ADVICE limit the number of materials and colours you use in the garden. Choose them to tie in with the materials used to build your house. Stick to a maximum of 3 and try to use the same material in different areas of the garden.” If you’re not confident with your plant knowledge, it’s better to have a large wave of 1 variety than lots of bits and pieces. Establish the look first (Mediterranean, cottage garden, tropical, or contemporary) and stick to it, be strict.
Embrace the beauty of concrete Concrete is a beautiful and tactile surface that looks perfect in contemporary settings. A malleable material, it can be used for seating, walls and paving to create striking, durable and minimalist spaces. Here, simple strips filled with gravel have been inserted into the concrete expanse, not only dissecting the space, but adding interest and aiding drainage.

Consider a fireplace Just as in a living room, it’s nice to have a focal point in a social space, and indoors this is so often a fireplace. Putting one outside, as GreenBird Gardening has done here, has the additional benefit of turning a summer-only space into one you can use in chillier months, too.

Gently illuminate Used sparingly and sensitively (so as not to scare off nocturnal wildlife), lighting is key to extending the life of your garden for social gatherings beyond daylight hours. For dining, candlelight may well be enough. For something more permanent, consider strategically located uplights or downlights highlighting foliage, as seen in this project by The Garden Builders.
