SandEdge

Suffolk-based company, SandEdge, sell a stylish range of metal items for the Garden, including garden furniture, greenhouses, mirrors, tools and accessories. They will happily advise you on the assembly and siting of anything you purchase, while their site also includes handy hints on gardening in general.

MIRRORS AND MORE

The beauty of metal is in its strength and durability, and the fact that it can be worked to any shape. Metal items tend to improve with age, blending sympathetically into their surroundings. If your garden is lacking a little mystery, take a look at SandEdge's selection of garden mirrors, like the Romantic Arch window mirror, which will instantly add light and the illusion of space to a small patch (there is an excellent article on the site on using mirrors in your garden). Lend a sense of majesty to a lacklustre lawn with an arbour, a gazebo or even wrought-iron style gates, with some made in Britain.

GARDEN FURNITURE

Make a statement with SandEdge's new line of coral red garden furniture that is making a stir with its swaying curves, its generous proportions and the vibrant red finish. If, however, you are a little more conservative, you'll find fabulous metal garden furniture in designs and colours to suit any garden style. There are sizes to fit the smallest balcony space and the largest of terraces or conservatories. This is furniture with high end design at affordable prices, with a range of garden benches, garden tables and chairs as well as garden structures like arches and tunnels.

GENERATE THEIR INTEREST (AND YOUR OWN)

Get your kids out into the garden with the help of the Children's Garden section - gardening kits, playhouses and sledges should entice them away from the telly for an hour or so. This section also offers helpful tips on how to engage children in growing food and exploring nature.
