With summer on the horizon, many residents are now beginning to prepare their gardens for long evenings in the sunshine and delicious dining experiences. Such garden parties are one of the best parts of the summer season and many gardens across the country will be host to wonderful gatherings.
While some are content to wheel out a slightly dilapidated barbeque and begin grilling foods for those sitting on a picnic blanket, others will be more diligent in considering the comfort and enjoyment of their guests. There are a great many purchases that can be made to improve both a garden and the experience of an outdoor gathering but the following six are certain to have the best possible impact.
Dining Set
For both comfort and utility, a dining set is key. Once set up in an outdoor space, gardens begin to feel more appropriate for dining with residents immediately feeling that they can spend more time outdoors whether with friends or simply enjoying a meal to themselves.
Be sure to consider the right dining set for your garden and that you understand the upkeep involved. Some designs are robust and can withstand the weather while others will require covering or storing during harsh climates and the winter season.
Heat Lamp
The cooler evenings are often the reason why parties draw to a close. With a heat lamp, areas of a garden can instantly be transformed into an illuminated and warm space, keeping guests feeling cosy and wanting to stay outdoors even longer.
Summer House
The rise in popularity of summer houses is for several reasons. These affordable and luxurious spaces are a useful asset for those who want to enjoy a sheltered dining area outdoors, one that still welcomes in the sunlight and nature.
Others, however, are utilising the versatile space for entertainment or professional pursuits, wanting a space within their property that will allow them to spend a greater deal of time outdoors.
Lighting
Once the sun goes down, it’s time to switch on artificial alternatives. This doesn’t need to be a wall-mounted spotlight and there are a number of decadent alternatives that make for a stylish garden atmosphere.
Fairy lights are a brilliant way to trail delicate lighting through garden decorations, while solar candles are an eco-friendly alternative. The latter of which tend to switch on automatically when the sun goes down!
Music
While one should be considerate of neighbours, having music at a garden party can help to sustain the good vibes throughout the afternoon and evening. Many Bluetooth speakers are available, the choice of which can seem overwhelming, so just be sure to choose one that has a great battery life and, for the worst-case scenario, resist a little water.
Pizza Oven
Not solely for pizza but certainly the best option, pizza ovens have become more efficient, affordable, and compact, meaning that every garden can easily be equipped with a brilliant oven for producing delicious foods. Alongside offering a culinary advantage, these ovens also provide a great source of entertainment, with many guests likely to want to cook their own.
