When the cooler, less predictable weather starts to come around, you might wonder how you can enjoy all the fruits of your summer gardening labour. Well, we think we've found some great ways! 

It's all about accounting for what weather you might experience, so while you're taking care of your leafy friends and preparing them for imminent frost, don't forget that you might still fancy getting outside this winter. 

Landscapers always seem to be on top of the latest garden trends, but we might just have them beaten with some of these ideas. Take a look and see if any of these ideas will help you to enjoy your garden, even in winter!

1. Little log cabin

Invest in a funky little log cabin with woodburner installed!

See more of this 10 m² beauty, here.

2. Wrap up warm

Try something simple, like having a stash of outdoor blankets and cushions ready to go.

3. Who doesn't love bubbles?

Could we tempt you to build a terrace and install a bubbling hot tub?

4. Hot suggestion

Get your grill serviced and ready to use as a heater.

5. Cheap entertainment

Don't forget to add some entertainment! Extra bird feeders will bring beautiful birds all winter.

6. Garden sauna

If a hot tub isn't for you, perhaps a garden sauna gets you hot and bothered?

7. Add a covered terrace to the back of your home

8. Patio heaters are a great way to get some targeted warmth

9. A simple covered shelter will offer lovely outdoor dining potential

Christmas dinner outside, anyone?

10. We love funky garden buildings, like this Romany-inspired version

Perfect for evening drinks!

11. A fire pit with surrounding seats

Offers a warm and cosy way to enjoy your garden in winter. Just tell your friends to wear thick coats!

12. Outdoor cooking

If it's cold and dry, that's perfect outdoor cooking weather as far as we're concerned. Especially if you have a gorgeous pizza oven!
