Our gardens are always an oasis in the warmer months, and just recently they’ve become more essential than ever. After months of lockdowns and restrictions, our outdoor spaces have enabled us to reunite with friends and family, which means more than ever we want them looking their best.

From artificial grass to the best garden furniture, we’re desperate to show them off at their best, so why not take it to the next level with these vibrant options.

While you might have already sorted your garden furniture set up, we’re obsessed with these bean bags to add a splash of colour to your garden space. They’re available in a huge selection of vibrant shades and will look equally stylish on a balcony, pride of place on decking, or inside your summer house.

A good barbecue is a real investment for garden entertaining, and this absolute bargain from Poundland is on everyones radar for the May bank-holidays. Priced at just £12, it’s beaten all its competitors for similar styles, and will still ensure you can cook up a storm for your guests! We recommend getting yours while you can as these are predicted to sell out very quickly.
