Christmas snowmanHave you noticed how light makes the structure of plants look amazing? A few subtle lights angled onto the clear stems of shrubs or trees introduces real drama to an outside space. The vertical structure gives great contrast with soft planting – and movement of plants such as ornamental grasses is fascinating to watch from the cosy comfort of indoors.

Lighting in the garden is a practical asset too – paths, steps and slopes can be treacherous in winter time, particularly when covered in leaves. If there is just one task that you should try to achieve before Christmas, it’s clearing paths. Nothing is more important than personal safety and there is a number of helpful tools and equipment that makes the task a breeze.

Of course there are always Christmas decorations to provide a rather more temporary illumination! Perfect Plants has many different outdoor lights of a festive nature and can provide delivery across the whole of the UK, including Highlands and Islands.
