B&Q has launched a £9.75 decoration that works as the perfect backdrop for your summer garden parties.
The simple but sweet ornament can turn any space into a romantic haven for a very affordable price.
B&Q’s Artificial Grass Wall Panels – decorated with dahlia roses and hydrangeas – are the perfect choice if you want to spice up your garden or bring some warm colours into your indoor living spaces.
And at just £9.75, they’re an absolute bargain.
Each panel measures 40x60cm and contains a number of flowers tied to a grate.
The products, sold and shipped by Garden Sanctuary, aren’t stocked in B&Q stores but you can order them online.
This comes just days after shoppers raced to B&Q stores to grab the perfect budget friendly product to elevate their gardens and add instant privacy to their outdoor space.
There’s nothing worse than sitting outside with a glass of wine and a good book, only to realise that your nosy neighbour is peeking at you over the fence.
Putting up a large fence around your garden may seem like the obvious choice to keep away prying eyes, but this can be expensive – and can sometimes lead to disagreements with neighbours.
Paul CEO of plants and perennials specialists J. Parker’s revealed that one stylish way of creating privacy in your garden is by planting ornamental grasses.
He said: “Grasses can be used easily to create internal screens or hedges that flower beautifully, move in the slightest breeze, and need little care during the summer months.
“I recommend silvergrass or pampas grass to not only conceal your garden, but to introduce interesting textures.
“Their fast growth rate makes ornamental grasses ideal for privacy hedges because new plants can rapidly fill in any gaps.”
B&Q’s Stipa Pony Tails Ornamental Grass is currently priced at £10.49, making it a perfect solution for penny pinchers.
The height of the plant when you purchase it will be 30-45cm, but ornamental grass can grow up to three metres tall.
The plant is low maintenance, so won’t cause you any stress, plus its feathery plumes will elevate the look of your garden into a stylish haven.
Additionally, B&Q slashed the price of an ornament – that helps your patio seem bigger – to just £11 last week.
The Ornamental Prunus Incisa “Kojo-no-Mai” Fuji Cherry Tree is available for just £10.79.
Usually referred to as the cherry tree, this plant has a compact, rounded shape and a gently spreading habit.
I gave my garden instant privacy with a B&Q buy – it was easy to attach, will last in winter & looks super realistic
WITH summer well and truly here, many people are outside updating their gardens.
And it seems avid gardeners have found the perfect buy to give gardens a quick update and add some extra privacy to their space.
B&Q is selling a garden must-have to give you some peace and quiet while adding some extra greenery.
The Decorative Artificial Ivy Leaf Green Hedge Roll has been a hit with customers and can easily be attached to an existing fence or balcony.
Thankfully, it comes at a bargain price with a 3m x 1m roll costing just £22.99.
The fencing panel is made up of hundreds of fake ivy leaves in a deep green colour and decorates the garden, just as well as giving you privacy.
The Artificial Fence Panel is also super easy to install.
The snap hook backings can fit many different areas and are flexible, which makes mounting easier by providing a way to install on an area with Zip Ties or Nails.
It’s also perfect to create privacy with the leaves positioned on the snap hook backing to create a full look, while the snap hook backing also acts as a second layer of privacy with a beautiful leaf design.
The B&Q item also comes with a two-year guarantee and has UV protection to stop the colour of the leaves from fading in the sun.
This makes it suitable for planting in small gardens or areas with limited space.
Garden designer Karen McClure explained that adding plants to your patio space would help it to seem bigger.
“Use ornamental feature trees,” she advised anyone struggling with limited outdoor space.
“Multi-stem specimens in particular can be kept to a controlled height in a large feature pot, and can create a lovely focal point as well as give interest at a higher level. Be bold.”
She added that the number of plant varieties should be kept to a minimum.
“Too many varieties can create a busy and chaotic feel, whereas a simple planting palette will feel harmonised, soothing, and calm,” she said.
