When it comes to items found in your garden, there will always be some essentials which need to be in there. Most traditional gardens will include grass, a garden shed, flowers, fencing, decking and, of course, a place to sit. 

When it comes to places to sit in your garden, there are many options. You could opt  for a run of the mill fold out garden chair or even a mundane stool. However, for a large number of garden enthusiasts, this seating arrangement might not cut it. Because of this, you may prefer something much more aesthetically pleasing and traditional. By this, we of course mean the famous wooden garden bench. 

The wooden garden bench has found its home in many gardens up and down the country. At Weston Sawmill, we are known to supply high quality decking and fencing in Staffordshire and surrounding areas. However, it is not as widely known that we also supply premium quality garden chairs and benches. 

If you are contemplating whether to garden bench or not, let’s look at reasons you definitely should acquire a garden bench. 

Exceptional Comfort

One clear advantage of the humble garden bench over the previously mentioned seating options, is exceptional comfort. Fold out chairs and stools can be particularly rickety and otherwise uncomfortable. If you would prefer to sit on a natural seating arrangement such as the floor or garden steps, these are similarly uneven and can even be considered quite rough. 

This makes the chair by far the best place to sit in your garden, especially in terms of comfort. Aside from the incredible comfort it offers, chairs can also be garnished with even comfier pillows and cushions. 

Unquestionable Style  

When it comes to implementing a bit of style into your garden, one of the easiest and most effective ways of doing so is by implementing a garden bench. Wooden garden chairs are sleek and promote a generally warm atmosphere as well as being quite pleasing to look at. In short, garden benches look right at home in virtually any garden, no matter shape, size or style. 

A Storage Solution

One of the most surprising benefits of a garden bench is a new opportunity for storage. If you are struggling to store loose items or if you are just generally struggling to find places for your everyday garden items, you might want to consider storing them on or under your bench.

All the way the back in April, we touched on 5 of the best garden flowers for the Spring. While it might seem like a rather scary thought, as it seems only mere moments ago that we were preparing for Spring, we now find ourselves with just a few official weeks left of Summer. 

We hope that since then you have catered for and taken care of your raised garden beds. All of this being said, you might be thinking that your raised flower beds are in dire need of a revamp. 

Because of this, we thought we should detail another 5 sorts of garden flowers, but this time we thought we should look at the 5 best summer flowers instead. So, without further ado, let’s look at 5 of the best summer flowers that you can incorporate into your raised garden beds in Staffordshire and surrounding areas. 

Lilies

Lilies are one of the most popular house plants in many British homes and subsequently, they are one of the quintessential flowers of the summer. One of the commonly cited benefits of lilies are the incredible range of colours and styles they can incorporate. 

From White and Cream to Pink and Purple styles, there is little doubt that these unique flowers look great in an elegant vase on your dining room table or even as part of an ensemble in a bright and wonderful bouquet. Lilies simply look fantastic and undeniably great. 

In addition to the fact that lilies look aesthetically pleasing and that they come in many different types and styles, the flowers also smell amazing. The flower’s smell becomes all the more important in summer due to hot and musky nights. So why don’t you allow lilies to fill your room and/or garden with their wonderful scent this summer. 

Sun Flowers

When the flower has the word sun in it’s name, you know they were meant for summer. The aptly named sunflowers are not just one of the most popular British flowers in the summer, they are one of the most popular all year round as well. 

Popular for their vibrant and appealing colour as well as their ability to grow relatively tall, the sunflower is one of the most instantly recognisable images of a Great British summer. The flowers are also quite well known for the fact that the flower heads follow the sun as the day progresses and it changes position. 

The humble sunflower goes far beyond simple trivial benefits, they also have some health advantages. Studies have shown that people who live with sunflowers in their gardens and homes have a boosted immune system. 

Rose

A flower so recognisable and iconic that a Doctor Who character was named after it, a rose is not just a symbol of love and affection, it is a telltale sign of summer. 

Roses promote feelings of warmth and comfort which are arguably the biggest features of summer. There are few things as picturesque as having a raised garden bed full of scarlet roses during a hot summer night. 

Hydrangeas

If you are thinking of having hydrangeas in your garden, you might want to make sure you have left enough space. This is because hydrangeas flowers take up quite a substantial amount of room, especially in regards to other common summer flowers. This is because these unique flowers come in a scrub form and can grow to be quite large. 

Hydrangeas, or Hydrangea and Hortensia as they are sometimes known, are a genus of over 75 different flower species which are native to Asia and America. However, this does not make them any less appealing to British gardens in the summertime. 

Dahlia 

The Dahlia plant is a bushy and herbaceous plant native to Mexico and Central America. This vibrant and colourful plant will look right at home in your raised garden bed. Its metaphorical cousin’s are famous plant types such as the famous sunflower and the vibrant daisies.
