Alfresco Entertaining on the up

Research carried out for the Horticultural Trades Association this July revealed that over three quarters (77%) of garden owners use their gardens for eating and entertaining, with half (50%) owning a barbecue and the same proportion also having outside lighting. And with over half of respondents (56%) also claiming their gardens as a stylish outdoor party venue, it seems that the outside room is increasingly becoming the social hub of the home! Stylish furniture and accessories are key to the creation of a chic alfresco entertainment zone.
