Conservatories A Way To Enjoy Your Garden All Year Round.

The people of the UK love the outdoors, we are a nation who don’t get much great weather but when
we do, we really make the most of it. We even stick it out in the winter months, out in the cold walking
running or cycling all over the place.
Gardening and enjoying the outside areas around our home is one of the most popular forms of outdoor
hobbies in Great Britain, we find it therapeutic and rewarding to tend our properties and keep them looking
neat and tidy. One great way to enjoy your garden throughout the year is a conservatory, it allows us to
soak in the rays in the summer and hide away from the cold but still enjoy the view in the winter.
A conservatory is a glass room usually attached to a house on one side or at the rear, they are a great way
to enjoy summer as a sunroom or chill out room. Conservatories originate in the 16th
where wealthy landowners could cultivate fruits introduced from warmer climates such as lemons and
oranges, this is where the name orangery comes from.
Now we have smaller versions attached to our home for more social and enjoyment purposes such as
gaining more living space, somewhere to practice hobbies or as a transition area between the home and
the garden. They are a great way to bring the outdoors in and have a host of advantages to garden and
outdoor lovers.
Having a conservatory in your garden has great aesthetic advantages, they come in a surprising choice
of materials, styles and colours including some really beautiful real wood types, these choices allow you
to match your conservatory to the general look and feel of your existing garden or create a new garden
aesthetic by planning around your conservatory.
Even if the weather outside isn’t great, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy your conservatory and your
garden areas, the autumn and winter offer beautiful views of the outside including weather formations and
some intriguing UK wildlife. The glass panels in your conservatory offer your protection from the weather
but also make a great viewing platform to observe the changes in season from the falling leaves in autumn
to snow fall in winter, you get a first hand view but stay cosy and warm.
Once the spring and summer set you will have to keep the grass down, do the weeding, trim the hedges
and prune the roses, but all the work will be worth it. You can throw the doors of your conservatory wide
open and enjoy garden parties, barbeques or just chill out with a good book, a conservatory is a great
place to host friend and family in the good weather.
