What a lovely evening ☀️🌿

I hope everyone is enjoying this wonderful evening in their gardens.

There’s something special about these long summer evenings when everything seems to slow down a little.

And tonight we have something a little extra special — a solar eclipse. 🌒

Across Ireland the Moon is covering most of the Sun this evening, giving us a pretty rare sight in our skies.

It’s amazing to think that for a few moments we can all just stop what we’re doing and look up at the same thing.

Gardens, a summer evening and an eclipse overhead — not a bad way to spend an August evening.

Sometimes the simplest evenings are the ones you remember.

Hope you’re enjoying yours, wherever you are. 🌿🌒 . Garden design , garden lighting . Planting design

Here is some garden design tips for creating an Outdoor Room . As Ireland’s climate is changing more and more times when creating an outdoor living area, i find myself of looking at options to sealing up these pergolas - outdoor rooms . So if you are thinking of including an outdoor room in your garden make sure you construct it , in a way it can be closed up now or at a later date. Here I created an outdoor snug at the back of a property where we glazed it with glass and a sliding doors . Garden Design - outdoor patios - Garden Rooms - DIY Gardens.

Giving a break down on garden paving styles and sizes. Here I’ve used a large porcelain tile 1m-1m 20mm. porcelain has being a big changer in recent years and with the diverse range it really is a great product. Over the coming months as part of the garden design club I will be looking at different types of paving and the pros and cons of each type . Hope your enjoy and give us a few low along .
