With all this extra time on our hands, our gardens should be picture perfect come the summer months

Smelling of roses

MOVEABLE FEAST

Perfect for balconies or courtyard gardens, or to move into the sunshine wherever it lands, this pretty little bistro set will have you dining al fresco from breakfast till suppertime.

Rive Droite bistro set, £120, gardentrading.co.uk

Go barefoot

There’s nothing so lovely as the feel of grass beneath the feet, but skipping from lawn to patio isn’t always a pleasure. If slipping on the flip-flops is just too much hassle, throw down a rug. We particularly love these ones, as not only are they super-plush, but made from recycled plastic bottles.

From £179, limelace.co.uk

TAKE ADVANTAGE

When the sun does shine it’s a shame to hide away when the heat is at its maximum, or disappear indoors when the cool of evening draws in. The Wiveton is a traditionally styled, octagonal summerhouse with features like multiple window sets and a lofty ceiling. A sociable circular seating arrangement is perfect for dining with friends and provides a relaxing sheltered space in your garden.

NIGHT LIGHT

Cast a soft glow of contentment across your perfectly manicured lawns and bee-friendly flower beds. Outdoor lighting should set the ambience and be as convenient and as mobile as you need it to be. With no need of a power source other than Mr. Sunshine himself, these rather beautiful lamps will light the way to many an al fresco evening.

Kate solar powered lamps, £219.99, sunslifestyle.com
