Having a garden is a huge luxury, that you might not appreciate until you really think about what it would be like to not have a garden. If your garden space is under-appreciated, it is probably underutilised, meaning you don’t get as much out of it as you could. Adding value to your garden can improve your everyday life and give you a bigger sense of freedom.

Choosing an appropriate way to add value is important. You should ensure you don’t affect the rest of your home, so for some people, a conservatory might not be an option unless your garden is large. Try thinking of an awning, gazebo or veranda instead. This is a way of enhancing your garden, increasing its usefulness and getting more out of it. These structures provide you with shelter if there is rain or wind, so you will be able to use your garden come rain or shine.
