Summer is the perfect season to fully enjoy your garden: the days get longer, the temperatures get milder and nothing is more pleasant than enjoying an evening outdoors, perhaps in company of friends and relatives. However, to make your green space welcoming and functional, it is important to prepare it with attention, taking care of every detail, from the garden tidy up to the setting of the table. Here is a practical guide to transform your garden into the perfect place for Summer evenings, with the help of some of our products.
Garden tidy up and care: the basis for everything
The first thing to do is to tidy up the garden, taking care of the plants, lawn and flowerbeds. A neglected garden immediately loses its charm, while a well-kept one becomes a relaxing and suggestive space.
To begin, it is essential to prune dry branches, remove weeds and rake residual leaves. Afterwards, you can proceed with sowing or repotting new flowering plants, vegetables or aromatic plants that, in addition to decorating, can be used in the kitchen. Fertilization is also important to keep plants lush and healthy.
In the Gardening & Outdoor section you can find everything you need for green maintenance: specific fertilizers, soil, watering cans, gloves and other practical accessories. A well-kept garden is not only more beautiful, but also more liveable.
Magical moments and comfrot: candles and citronella against mosquitoes
Once the garden has been arranged, it is time to think about the atmosphere. Summer evenings can be magical, but unfortunately mosquitoes also love this time of year. The solution? Soft and targeted lighting, combined with natural repellents such as citronella and scented candles.
Citronella candles, for example, not only help keep mosquitoes away, but also spread a warm and relaxing light. Arranged in lanterns or decorative candle holders, they can transform even the simplest garden into a romantic and welcoming corner.
Visit the Citronellas section to discover a selection of products ideal for this purpose. In addition to classic candles, you can find spirals, torches and sprays, all designed to create an effective barrier against insects, without sacrificing style.
The BBQ: queen of outdoor evenings
No Summer evening in the garden is complete without a good barbecue. The smell of meat or vegetables roasted on the barbecue is now a true symbol of the Italian summer! Whether you are an expert griller or a beginner, the important thing is to be well equipped.
To light the fire safely and easily, we offer a range of practical and reliable firelighters. They are available in various sizes, for charcoal or wood barbecues, designed to avoid smoke and unpleasant odors and ensure rapid lighting.
Table setting: sustainability and practicality with style
Finally, a welcoming and well-set table is a must. Whether it's an informal dinner or a special occasion, the details make the difference: colorful tablecloths, coordinated napkins, resistant glasses and practical plates make every meal more enjoyable.
For outdoor evenings it is preferable to use reusable or compostable materials: they are more sustainable than disposable plastic and give a touch of extra attention to the environment. You can find everything you need in the Party Time section, kitchen items and Other Accessories section, with a wide selection of practical and functional items, also compostable.
You can also enrich the table with natural centerpieces (fresh flowers or small vases of aromatic plants), garden ornaments, led lights or decorative scented candles.
And don't forget some light blankets or plaids to make everything more comfortable when evening falls.
Keep the kids busy
Last but not least, if you’ve got little ones, you’ll want a few toys and games to keep them entertained.
If it’s set to be a scorcher, why not let them cool off in the garden with a water fight! We’ve got a great range of water guns, bubbles and soccer balls - but we can’t promise the big kids won’t want to get involved too!
When the water fight is over, there’s nothing quite like having a quick dip in a pool to cool off...the big challenge is getting the adults out of it first!
Remeber to keep some sun cream on the side for guests to use, above all for the little ones!
Preparing your garden for Summer evenings is a gesture of love towards your home, your friends and yourself. You don’t need a big budget or a landscape architect’s intervention: all you need is a little care, a few practical tips and the right products to make every corner of your green space ready to welcome moments of joy and relaxation.
