As we’re fast approaching the end of October, winter is almost upon us and it’s time to get your garden ready. As the BBQ retires to the garden shed for another year, why not invest in some new garden accessories so you can still use your space? Here’s our top accessories for a winter garden.
1. Garden heater
It’s a must really given the climate during winter. If you have a patio with a cosy seating area then investing in a good garden heater can make all the difference. Here’s our favourite.
2. A chimenea
If you prefer a more traditional look, then we’d suggest you opt for a chimenea over a modern heater. They come in a range of colours and sizes so you’ll be sure to find one that compliments your garden style. This clay chimenea doubles up as a mini grill so you can still enjoy some barbecued treats when (if) the weather permits!
3. A greenhouse
Another one of our top accessories for a winter garden is a greenhouse. Yes, it can be quite an investment but well worth it. If you’d like to keep your herb garden or vegetables thriving through winter then a greenhouse is just the ticket. This option from homebase is amongst the top picks for a winter garden for many.
4. Top accessories for a winter garden, obviously Artificial grass
It’s no secret that natural grass doesn’t bode well with harsh winter conditions. Flooding and frost can be really detrimental, leaving your lawn looking patchy and sparse. It’s also difficult to enjoy in the winter with stodgy puddles and mud. However, artificial grass remains the same no matter what the season. It can withstand the weather, maintaining a luscious patch-free look all year round. Here’s our selection of artificial grass, made from durable high-quality materials and fit to withstand those winter weather conditions. (Can you link to the grass section on Evergreen)

5. Awnings
If you have a restaurant, installing a retractable awning and supplying enough seats can really make the number of customers and their satisfaction grow. Many customers would love to take shelter in the shade, under your awnings while enjoying various drinks. In your home, you can dare to create the best environment for you to relax while observing the beautiful flowers in your garden.
Awnings come in different colors and can greatly enhance the beauty of your home. This is because you can choose the different colors and designs of awnings that exist, adopting the one that best merges with your home.
There are many benefits of retractable awnings for any room or for your home, among them you can find:
Being able to choose whether to enjoy the sun or have shade
Retractable awnings are specially designed so that you can easily open and close them. This gives you the freedom to choose whether you want to allow the sun’s rays to fall on you or to protect yourself from the sun in case the day is too hot. For healthy skin, some warmth from the sun is needed but at a regulated rate. With the retractable awning, you can simply sit in your seat and use the remote control to control the structure that will allow you to enjoy the heat or shade.
Protect yourself from the harmful rays of the sun that fall on your skin
In case you have a skin complication and you don’t like being exposed to too much sun, this is the best solution that retractable awnings can give you. The materials used in the manufacture of the awnings can totally block harmful rays.
Ensure a long life to your home
Your house may have doors or windows that allow the strong rays of the sun to enter, which end up discoloring the furniture or carpets in your house. Installing awnings on doors or windows will ensure you avoid that problem entirely.
They are very affordable
Ordering a custom awning for your home is inexpensive compared to building a permanent new structure outside your building. You will save on the cost of building expensive pillars to configure other structures because using this will simply fix it to your ceiling.
Reduces clogging
In case it is a commercial premise, surely the best thing would be for the place to be clear for reasons such as security. Erecting other shadows will require you to build walls or pillars that will end up causing obstruction. By using the awnings, you will ensure that there are no obstructions because no pillars or walls are used.
Different styles and sizes to choose from
It is very advantageous for a buyer when buying these awnings, since he will be able to choose the size that suits him best for his premise. The colors and designs are also varied, therefore they meet the different requirements that people have.
Easy to operate and install
Installing them is much easier compared to any other structure you want to build. They are also very advantageous when operating them. You can imagine that only by using a remote control can you have full control of them.
