Wet Pots

Now there's no excuse to kill your plants with over-watering thanks to these new self-watering wet pots from Garden Boutique. You get 3 pots for £19.95, then simply pour water in and let nature take it in as and when needed. Perfect for those of you who are away a lot or like me have a penchant for killing herbs. Garden Designer Alice Bowe has a great range of well chosen garden products from cute vintage table vases to reclaimed garden furniture. And if you can't find it on her site then give Alice or Daisy a call and they'll find it for you - now there's a challenge.

Tesco Swings

It pains me to say but this wooden TP double swing from Tescos is one of the nicest I've found. It costs £99.97, has adjustable rope lengths and ground stakes which must be concreted in. It's suitable for 3-8 year olds who weigh 45 kg per ride - I guess that means I won't be able to use it.

Bamboo Lighting

I just love the whole life that the Graham and Green catalogue presents. As that is a mere dream, I'll buy a part of it with these lovely hand made bamboo lamps from £13.50 to £36.50. While you're there, look lovingly at their dusty grey French garden furniture. It all screams wine and sun to me.

Raising Plants

If you want to know what's in and out in the plant world, then visit online or if you're in Little Venice, the famous Clifton Nurseries. They'll design your garden, source the plants and give you specialist advice on their care and maintenance. Of course you can also get your containers to pop them into and the seat you can view their growth from. Not cheap, but truly inspirational and aspirational.
