Green homeware in the great, green outdoors
Tables heaving with decadent dishes, bottles of rosé chilling in ice buckets, the scent of barbecue in the air… You just can’t beat an al fresco summer soirée, says Tessa Dunthorne. And even if summer is coming to a close, there’s still much to make of our glorious outdoors. Let’s keep it sustainable, though. Our tips? Opt to rent where you can – maybe with a complete picnic shindig by experience-makers The Social Set-Up – but otherwise pick up the pieces you’ll use again and again (and that have been made with careful love). Here’s our pick of the sustainable garden furniture and accessories to spruce up your next outdoor gathering.
