Quick Garden Fixes
This week’s Home Comforts focuses on Garden Rooms, but if you’d rather concentrate on the garden itself, here are some easy fixes for a quick spruce up by the experts at Wickes.
Border Edging
Make an impact with border edging, perfect for lining a flower garden or even a pond, adding individuality to your outdoor area.
