The Bohemian Garden

Create an oasis in the garden with decking, structured seating, lots of colourful cushions. Great with this seasons print trend for palm and tropical plants on white backgrounds. A retro inspired Bohemian paradise.

Bold colour and print doesn't suit all interiors - a garden is a fabulous place to experiment with colour and wild prints. Authentic retro fabrics would also look great. Bx

Planting in Waves of Colour

Planting in hues of mauve and green/grey. 
Grasses soften borders and add subtle movement to the garden. A coastal influence which compliments
gravel / pebble walkways.

Strong block planting. A gorgeous colour combination. Bx

An early preview of Christmas. I have found a few ideas to remind us of our 'green' conscience, looking to the garden for inspiration at Christmas. Greenery from conifer sprigs to scented bay is the most cost effective way to adorn a room for this joyous season. 

www.traidcraftshop.co.uk There is so much inspiration and choice on-line, to inspire garden related gifts, tool bags, garden tools and gardening aprons. Fair trade garden equipment is perfect for any eco friendly gardening enthusiast. I love the Hessian sack which could be used to wrap the gifts with a lovely olive green satin ribbon and some conifer sprigs ...then re-used as a gift for the garden. Alternatively, the basket could be filled as a gardening hamper. www.traidcraftshop.co.uk
