Farmer's garden

If you desire a more rustic feel to your garden but still need somewhere to store all of that gardening equipment then why not try and make the most of what you have and create a little farmers paradise in your own backyard.

Sheds can be the ideal storage space for all those spades and forks that you bring out on a sunny weekend but that doesn't mean they can't be functional and attractive.

If you want to protect the natural look to your wooden shed and make sure that the wood takes centre stage then why not use Cuprinol Shed & Fence Protector in Acorn Brown. This provides added protection to your shed to keep it looking great for longer.

You could also try a more adventurous colour theme to make your storage space the pride and glory of your farmer's backyard. We've used Cuprinol Garden Shades in Wild Thyme and Sage.

If you want to have a bit of solitude in your garden and want to protect any tender plants or crops you may be harvesting then have a little fun and create your very own scarecrow. It's so easy and you can involve the whole family.

The great thing about this look is that it won't involve having to buy lots of new equipment, in fact the older the better. Use any old clothing you may have lying around in the loft or under the stairs and see what fashionable scarecrow you can create.
