It’s finally the change of the seasons, the mark of new beginnings and opportunities. Spring means (hopefully) the re-emergence of the sun and a new lease of life. This article will give you the inspiration you need to revamp your living space, garden, and self; an all-round eco-friendly ‘spring clean’. 

 

Garden

Spring is the perfect time to change up your outdoor space, the change in weather brings a multitude of new design and growth opportunities for your garden. This Strawberry tree is perfect for just that, as a plant that loves sun its glossy leaves will add some shine to your garden. It’s a small tidy evergreen, suitable for even the smallest of spaces. Even if you’re planting this Strawberry tree to mark a fresh start, it even looks beautiful all year round growing white “heatherbell” flowers in autumn.

The Magnolia tree is one of the earliest to bloom in spring, meaning you can get a head start your ‘spring clean’. The Mangnolia tree gift is hardy and can be kept in containers in a sunny sheltered space in the garden. The Buds open into beautiful fragrant star shaped white flowers once spring has sprung.

Another seasonal delight from our growing range is the shitake mushroom log kit, it has a slightly nutty flavour and fruits in nine to eighteen months. It crops in Spring & Summer. The kits come equipped with everything you need to grow your new mushroom crop. Packed in a fair-trade jute bag, it contains a packet of 30 spawn plugs, an easy-to-follow set of instructions and a correct size of drill.

As the days begin to draw longer, your outdoor living space will become the centre of alfresco dining and entertaining with friends. Enjoy a drink outside with the Yala Wine Glass, a stylish and handmade wine glass made of 100% recycled glass. They are sturdy, so they’re more than capable of withstanding spring and summer outdoor drinking sessions, whilst also dish washable for a quick clean up. They are the hosting essential!

Interiors

Now the exterior of your space is shaping up, it’s time to tackle the inside. The Brass Kiko Photo Frame is great for special memories, this can be postcards, drawings or photographs. Grouped together they can create a great feature piece for your living room, the perfect focal point to change it up and of course made from recycled materials. 

 

Although these can be used outdoors, the Sia Nkuku Lantern is so versatile it can also be used indoors to create a beautiful silhouette. These elegant black metal lanterns make a beautiful statement piece to accompany the Kiko Photo Frames and are available in a choice of three sizes.

 
The Sol Beer Bottle Tumblers will bring that feeling of spring sun into your home. Not only is this an iconic design, but they have also been collected from local bars and handcrafted. Reasonably priced, they have a perfectly smooth rim perfect for beer and spirit drinkers alike.

New beginnings bring the exciting prospect of changing up your own personal routine; a time to work on the inside as well as the outside. Soothe your soul and enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep using the Zebra Indigo Velvet Eye Mask. It comes in a gorgeous drawstring cotton bag in a deep indigo blue colour with a racing zebra and star design. Enjoy a deeper night’s sleep blocking the light out, whilst the mask filled with lavender helps you to relax and unwind. The velvet will feel smooth against your skin, with an elasticated strap to keep the mask in place. 

 

And pair your new nighttime routine with this Bramley Room Spray. This luxury room spray with sweet orange, fennel & spearmint essential oils is made from 100% naturally derived ingredients and is completely recyclable.
