Gardening is a great hobby and is becoming increasingly popular as the world focusses on green initiatives and methods of self-sustainment. However, with populations growing and living spaces becoming smaller, gardens are often a luxury that many cannot afford; this is why vertical gardening is fast becoming the new way to add some lush green into your living space.

Autumn is slowly sneaking up on us, with a slight chill creeping into the air and the trees preparing to create a multi-coloured wonderland of autumn leaves. Along with the change of the season comes a change in the delicious meals we can cook up and the seasonal fruit and vegetables available to us.

Autumn is here! And so are the upcoming school holidays. As a fellow parent I sympathise with having kids home for nearly three weeks and either having your toddlers climbing the walls or your older kids saying “I’m boooored!” 100 times a day.

The Carmen range is made up of carefully selected pieces which you can buy as a set, or individually so that you have the freedom of mixing and matching to create your very own, unique outdoor living area.

With rising awareness, the world is slowly progressing to greener methods from solar power to indigenous gardens and organic food. It is by no means impossible to make your home a greener place and today we’re looking into natural swimming pools.

Gardening is one of the top hobbies in the world and it’s easy to see why when one considers the many benefits. Not only are you creating a beautiful garden and helping nature, you also personally benefit - mentally, emotionally and physically. You can also grow food and either serve it in your own kitchen or sell it for some extra cash. With so many positives linked to this hobby, we thought it a good idea to get the kids involved.

Outdoor garden lighting transforms your space into an inviting retreat after sunset. From path and wall lights to solar lanterns and string lights, the right lighting adds both safety and charm. Layering soft ambient lighting with focused task or accent lights can highlight garden features, create depth, and extend your outdoor enjoyment well into the evening.
