Garden features people want the most in their garden
The research also revealed what products are at the top of Brits wish lists for their garden in 2022, perfect for those struggling when it comes to decorating their outdoor spaces this summer. Top products included BBQ’s (27%), garden dining tables (24%) and garden sofa’s (19%) – all of which are perfect for hosting a family BBQ or garden party. Firepits, which were also amongst the most desired garden features, are great for keeping warm on those cooler summer nights and have seen an increase in popularity in recent years.
Emily Caloe, Senior Buyer at VonHaus says: “With the temperature rising, we’ll all want to be spending more time in the garden and even more so, wanting it to look good.
“This research shows that a lot of us face struggles when it comes to our gardens, but many of the problems we have can be easily solved and even if you do have a small garden, there are plenty of ways to utilise the space you do have – such as hanging baskets instead of plant pots, and furniture that can be folded up and easily stored away inside.
“It’s great to see the products that are in high demand, such
as garden dining tables, sofas and firepits. This really shows that people are gearing up for a summer full of garden parties and BBQ’s! We can’t wait to see how people decide to incorporate the products into their outdoor spaces.”
