Create A Winter Wonderland!
As the seasons change and the temparatures plunge, are you making the most of your garden this winter?
Create A Winter Wonderland.
Now the trees are bare, the garden can seem a little austere and empty. But it doesn’t have to be. With the right garden ornaments and urns you can transform your outdoor space into a beautiful winter wonderland. The plants have died back, leaving room for key planters, statues and fountains to come to the fore, for that frosty, magical feel.
Embrace the Bleakness
During the winter months a well-planned garden design can come into its own. Using key garden ornaments you can capture the essence of the cold weather as the fine cast stone will twinkle in the hard frost. If it snows statues and even a garden pavilion with a wrought iron roof will transform your garden into a magical space, taking you back to the imagined Narnia of your childhood.
Whatever the weather this season, a decorative urn and pedestal can add to your landscaping as an eye catching feature that stands out to compliment the starkness of winter.
Invest in these garden highlights now and they will become beautiful features as the winter melts into spring. Columns are perfect for training clematis and cimbing roses, but you can still make the most of your garden while the blooms are hibernating.

Winter Water Features
Winter isn’t generally associated with water features but frozen fountains look spectacular hung with icicles. But this won’t do your water pump any favours. It’s safer to turn off fountains in the coldest weather and pop a tennis ball into the bowl to keep the water agitated, helping to prevent it from freezing. However, there is no doubt that fountains large and small look pretty in the icy weather. Whether you opt for a spectacular turning circle or a small pond with a petite fountain, like our Preston or Kew you can run them once the temperatures are above freezing, They will be a welcome water source for garden birds in the cold weather too. And once the seasons warm into spring and summer these fountains will swap the beautiful bleakness to create a tranquil and romantic feel, creating your own personal paradise.
But right now, frosty fountains can conjure up a Christmas card style view from your window, helping with the festive feeling as you gaze out from your cosy homes.
