A British garden doesn’t get an awful amount of hot weather and sunshine, even in the summer months, and you may make your outdoor space more practical by starting again with a completely new design.
Having a summer house, a garden pod, a barn or an outbuilding can give you an area to study, relax or take up a hobby, and the main benefit is that you’re able to have an outdoor space you can enjoy whether there’s sun or rain.
You may also incorporate seating areas into your garden for those rare sunny days, perhaps in the form a patio area, decking or a terrace. Most expertly crafted outdoor designs include different areas for different purposes, such as relaxing, barbecuing, entertaining and gardening, and if you create a more practical garden, you may benefit from a more active lifestyle.
