The Garden Trading Black Festoon Lighting is a simple way to illuminate parts of your garden and establish them as cosy and inviting entertaining areas. Each light in this string of 10 emits a beautifully warm ambient glow and can be used inside and outside depending on your needs. Festoon lights look wonderful when they are wrapped around overhanging tree branches or suspended from fencing to illuminate a walkway. You could also hang your festoon lights from pergolas and trellising or use them to illuminate a beautiful outside summer house.
For added illumination and a touch of warmth, fire pits are a perfect choice. The Buschbeck Ifen Steel Fire Pit has a diameter of 80cm and has been specifically designed to become increasingly more characterful as it ages.

Personalise Your Garden With Olivia's Outdoor Accessories
Accessorising your garden is one of the simplest ways to ensure it suits your personal style and reflects your personality. Although it can be easy to focus our attention on accessorising our interiors, Olivia's has put together a carefully curated selection of outdoor accessories that can make a huge difference to the way your garden looks and feels.
Just as interior mirrors can transform the look and feel of rooms inside the home, outdoor mirrors can help to bring additional light to tucked-away corners of your garden and give the illusion of additional space in compact areas. The Garden Trading Rectangle Outdoor Mirror has a charming windowpane design, with six square mirrored panels to reflect blue skies and greenery to help you create a private tranquil sanctuary that you can retreat to at any time. There are also two other sizes in the same collection, one smaller square mirror and a larger rectangular design that boasts 12 mirrored panels to reflect even more light. Choose one to enhance your outdoor seating area or mix and match several designs to create a unique look that will bathe your chosen area with light all day long.
Whether you're going for a green palette or are keen to pack in as much colour as possible, this set of two Fibre Clay Planters will help you to breathe new life into your garden and accessorise your patio, deck, or summerhouse. The perfect size to house small trees, bushes, and tall stems, these sophisticated planters will allow you to introduce a sense of height into your overall design scheme to draw the eye up and around your entire space.
This gorgeous Garden Trading Outdoor Rug has been entirely crafted from yarn made from recycled plastic bottles, making it an environmentally friendly design choice for your garden. The neutral grey tone of this versatile piece means it can be positioned in an array of locations within your garden, or even used inside during the cooler months. Place on a patio area around your outdoor furniture set or sun lounger to create a seating area that offers maximum comfort. Alternatively, place just outside your patio doors to create an engaging walkway that feels wonderful underfoot as you serve dinner or drinks to your guests.
If creating a comfortable outside entertaining area is at the top of your to-do list, it is always a good idea to have a selection of textured throws on hand to use if the chill starts to set in when the sun goes down. The Oxford Textured Throw in a rich charcoal grey hue is a versatile option that will suit most outside spaces. Simply tuck away in ottomans or drape casually over chair arms for you or your guests to reach for whenever an additional layer will be appreciated.
Olivia's-Approved Accessories For The Green-Fingered
Bees and other pollinators are the unsung heroes of our natural world, however, over the years, numbers have fallen considerably and they need our help to recover. An Olivia's Bee House will make a charming addition to your garden and can be easily installed on a wall or fence that receives a lot of natural sunlight throughout the day. The house has been crafted from perfectly sized hollow plant stems, which provide valuable shelter for busy pollinators in a way that supports them to follow their natural instincts. Your chosen spot should be one of the sunniest in your garden, with south-west or south-facing locations among the most ideal.
When the temperatures start to rise, our powerful pollinators and gorgeous greenery tend to need a little bit of extra TLC. The Garden Trading Watering Can has a 1.1L capacity that is ideal for tending to houseplants, hanging baskets and patio planters, which will allow you to ensure that your plants bloom all season long. The narrow, elongated watering spout makes it easy to reach plants in high and low positions, and the arched handle is ergonomic and easy to hold. In addition, the watering can's chic silhouette and beautiful chalk coloured finish means that it also looks wonderful when displayed on a windowsill or in a prominent corner of a summer house or greenhouse.
