Landscape designer Franchesca Watson’s ten garden ideas and items for a greener new year.
1. Studios and Think Spaces
Structures offering shade and a little enclosure will add focus to your life both visually and emotionally, such as this pavilion by Gianni
2. Pop-up Furniture in Decks
If you are short of space and installing a deck, consider pop-up loungers or chairs. Simply fold them away as part of the deck when you don’t use them.
3. Plastic Grass Blocks
These have the wonderful quality of allowing space for lawn growth while providing support. They disappear entirely so you have a lawn you can park on. 49
4. Outside Shower
