Colourful cold frames

If you don't have the biggest garden in the world then that shouldn't stop you from having your very own Kitchen Garden. Cold frames are ideal for smaller gardens and can really bring a touch of sustainable living to anyone's backyard.

Home-grown fruit and vegetables are filled with flavour and packed full of goodness but just because you're being eco, doesn't mean you have to "go green".

Instead, make your veggie plot into a style statement with the clever introduction of colour.

Cold frames are perfect for protecting delicate crops from cold snaps, and from pesky pests like greenfly, but why shouldn't functional be fashionable?

Try treating the wood with a couple of coats of Cuprinol Garden Shades for an instant lift. Here we have used Country Cream for a classic garden look, they're water-based and safe for use around edible plants once dry.

Cuprinol Garden Shades now have an extensive colour palette of 23 different shades to choose from, and because Garden Shades transforms both bare and weathered wood in just a couple of hours your garden will be ready for the summer.
