Non Plant Based Considerations

It is great you are researching our plant database! It is however important to also consider the non plant based things you could be learning about to get the most out of your garden. If you have spent any amount of time on our site/using our database, you will have surely noticed that there is so much to learn. This does not stop at plants however. In order to maximise your gardens natural appeal and sustainability, you should also start reading up on things like grades and quality of wood, maintenance and care best practises and all things surrounding proper garden maintenance. For example, it is widely know that teak wood is an excellent choice for those looking to make their garden more inviting, comfortable and sophisticated. However, there is much to consider when purchasing a table, chair or bench made from the material. Everything from proper care and treatment to only buying from a supplier of the finest quality teak (like the guys here who sell a huge range of teak furniture online!).
