Sitting inside during the cold, dark and damp wintry nights dreaming about your beautiful garden in spring and summer? Why not take action that will permit enjoyment of it throughout the calendar year? First, stop with the idea we don’t have the proper climate to weather a garden in the winter.
Weathering the weather is part of the appeal of having a garden. There is no written rule dictating a garden must be sat in to be appreciated. A beautiful garden can be as easily enjoyed during drizzly, winter walks as sitting with a cup of tea on a spring evening. There are a few effects necessary to create an environment that can be relished any time of the year, day or night. Mainly, proper outdoor lighting is a prerequisite.

Garden Lighting Ideas
Highlighting the architectural detail of the property’s home and outlying area is almost a natural extension of any properly designed garden lighting project; even if it isn’t the intent. Lighting produces a mood while camouflaging flaws and even safety lapses.

- Emphasise trees and other greenery by illuminating from above or below. This technique sets a stunning focal point that will change as the seasons change.
- Think up and not down. Casting light up from the ground generates attention for architectural detail that can be missed with traditional lighting throwing a downward glance.
- Select an area of the garden that will be front and center; concentrate a variety of lighting techniques there.
- Love the look of a well-lit path but don’t love the airport runway look? Adding lamp posts and hanging lights is a great way to change up this stale lighting concept for gardens.
- Think warm even when it is cold outside; warm white lighting showcases the property and the home.
- Use a timer to keep it all running smoothly throughout the calendar year. This method enhances security; especially when different sectors of the garden and home are set to light and turn off at varying times.
