Which Plants Should You Add To Your Conservatory?
Posted: March 10, 2010
Do you have any idea? The answer could actually depend on whether your self-build conservatory faces the south and gets lots of heat and light during the day. Alternatively you will need to look at a whole different selection of plants if your conservatory favours another direction. So depending on the location you will need to choose the best plants for that situation.
A good bet for any DIY conservatory is a fruit tree. And if you are thinking of the huge version that needs half the garden to drop its fruit in, you need to scale down a bit! Miniature fruit trees such as orange trees and lemon trees are available to stand in pots in your conservatory. You should get perfectly formed oranges and lemons – they will just be a lot smaller than the regular kind.

Choosing The Right Type Of Conservatory For You
Posted: March 7, 2010
If you have only just begun to think about choosing a new DIY conservatory, you might be surprised to find there are lots of decisions to be made. Firstly there is the basic size and shape to think about and then you need to consider how you will finish it off.
But the first consideration is of course the plot you have available. How much room do you have for a DIY conservatory and where will you position it?

Ideal Furniture For Your Conservatory
Posted: March 4, 2010
Once your new self-build conservatory is finished, you then have the task of furnishing it. This will be made easier if you think about how you want to use the room first.
For example, will you be primarily using it as a dining room? If so, a table and chairs will be the most important item to add. If this is the case make sure you measure up properly to see what size table would fit in. Consider the amount of space needed for the chairs too though – it is easy to think about the table and forget that the chairs need to be pushed back for people to get into them.

What Are The Best Plants For A Conservatory?
Posted: March 1, 2010
Would you know the answer? In truth the answer can depend on the nature of your DIY conservatory. For example if yours is south facing you will get plenty of sun – and that doesn’t appeal to some plants. Conversely if your DIY conservatory faces in another direction you will have a whole new selection of plants to consider that will thrive much better under those different conditions.
One type of plant that tends to like a self-build conservatory is the fruit tree. Now you might imagine this to be a big tree that requires a garden to flourish in, but this isn’t always the case. You can buy miniature fruit trees that look and smell wonderful in a conservatory. Orange and lemon trees are both very popular because of the fresh citrus smell they give off. And they are just the right size to sit in a fancy pot on the floor.

Planning For Plants In Your Conservatory
Posted: February 26, 2010
One of the best things about having a self-build conservatory is the fact that you are near to your garden all year round. Regardless of what the weather is doing you can watch what is happening and see your plants and shrubs developing as the year presses on.
But there is also the prospect of being able to grow plants inside your self-build conservatory as well. While not all plants enjoy the unusual conditions this room presents, some will positively thrive in them. The trick is to plan ahead and make sure you know what you want to have and where you want to have it.

Posted: February 17, 2010
The summer months are wonderful when you have children. You can fling open the doors to the garden after breakfast and let them run riot in the garden. There are plenty of outdoor games they can play while you relax in a garden chair or perhaps get on with some chores inside the house.
But winter is a different thing altogether. How on earth do you keep them entertained when they can’t go outside?
