Gardening

We work hard to maintain the Lazy Susan showroom garden and we like to think we know a few things about gardening. After all, garden furniture and the garden go hand in hand. We like to blog about everything from our favourite plants to sharing our knowledge of garden design and planning. We might not be horticultural specialists but we know a thing or two about gardening in the UK and how to make your garden look fantastic.

Our favourite garden books from 2019

The team and I love a good gardening book. We’ve stockpiled quite the library at Lazy Susan HQ. We pick them up on a regular basis, they make for great inspiration, they influence our product development, and they help to keep us in touch with garden design trends that could directly influence our business. Plus we are passionate about what we do. We love our gardens as much as you do. So at the end of the day, we enjoy reading them. A good book also makes for a great gift for any green fingered friends and family members.

The country seems to have gone gardening tech crazy. We can’t get enough of it. And we also see this type of list all the time. Top ten gadgets for Christmas, or five must-have gardening tech gadgets for 2019. It seemed only right for the Lazy Susan team and I to compile a list of our current favourite garden gadgets. I may of mentioned it once or twice but I recently moved into a new house last year. New garden means that over the last month or so our attention has turned to getting it ready for the summer. And I like gadgets.

Lazy Susan’s favourite gardening books of 2018

I like to do this type of blog post at this time of year. Christmas is just around the corner, and all the books featured here make for a great gift for that beloved green-fingered someone in your life. I can’t remember if we posted our favourite books of 2017? I’d need to check but I’m pretty sure we did. We’ve definitely done several posts that have compiled some of our favourite home and garden books in the past. We have quite the library at Lazy HQ too, and the team and I are all avid readers. These books provide inspiration for everything from new product development to ideas for blog articles. Plus many of us are do-it-yourselfers and amateur gardeners, so its always nice if you can combine business with pleasure.

There’s always something to be doing in the garden, whether it’s a spot of pruning or dead-heading, cutting the lawn or just generally tidying things up, the list goes on. So here at Lazy Susan, the team and I have pulled together some of our top summer gardening tips. It’s that time of year where we want to use the garden for a little well earned R’n’R, maybe fire up the BBQ on an a nice sunny day, and get the family gathered around your Lazy Susan garden table. However, to keep things looking nice, we need to spend a little time giving our gardens some much needed TLC. It’ll make things easier in the long-run and help spread the pre Autumn/Winter workload.

We’ve shared with readers of this blog some of our favourite garden books in previous posts. The Lazy Susan office has many a shelf crammed with all manner of garden and patio based reading material. It makes for great inspiration, and the team love nothing more than a quick thumb through the latest garden design…

At Lazy Susan we love spring ground covering plants and we make extensive use of them to add interest and break up our showroom garden… Ground covering plants are the perfect way to pack your garden with colourful plants, adding some structure and creating borders and plots that significantly reduce the need for soil turning…

2013 has seen some great garden books published. From tips on Japanese garden design to low cost eco gardening, picking our top 5 was a bit of a challenge. This could of easily become a top 10 or even a top 50 to be honest with you. However, after much back and forth in the…

The Christmas garden gift ideas article we did last month proved so popular, I thought I’d pull together another. I’d only included a fraction of some of the great gift ideas the Lazy Susan team had stumbled across when researching it, so it makes sense to share a few more… We’ve still got a good…
