Trends in 2008
In 2007 great colour contrasts, such as combinations of black and white, were extremely popular in the garden. However, in 2008 this has made way for harmony. The trend for 2008 is comprised of simple shapes, restrained colours, and natural materials - and a lot of green in combination with luxury and comfort. The garden of 2008 enables us to relax in comfort, and enjoy the peace and harmony.
Garden tips and ideas | |
Wouldn't it be great if you could sit outdoors in the winter as well and enjoy your garden? Well, you can! A fire basket, brazier or outdoor fireplace gives off a lot of heat, and is very cheerful. It just so happens that Bear County offers you an opportunity to win a Weber garden outdoor fireplace! |  |

 | You can make your garden seem larger than it actually is by adding some elements in the width, length and depth. For example, a light back wall in your garden makes it look wider, whilst a dark back wall makes it seem deeper. You can achieve this effect by allowing a climbing plant to grow over your garden's back wall or fence. Erecting a fence with horizontal planks makes your garden seem longer |
Whenever possible, put wooden garden furniture in the sun at the beginning of the season. The wood will then have fewer problems with green algae.
