Nothing says warm summer nights like dinner in your backyard!

Make yourself comfortable in your new outdoor space with some quality furniture and a few finishing touches that are sure to impress your guests.

Read on to discover our favourite outdoor features, and where you can buy them in Geelong and Torquay.

Outdoor settings

A quality outdoor setting is a must-have for the warmer months.

Whether its a dining table and chairs or an outdoor sofa, furniture adds a creative touch to your outdoor space. It also allows your outdoor space to be used for entertaining.

To ensure your new set up can handle the summer sun, go for easy-to-clean and low maintenance furniture made from sturdy materials like metal, wood or concrete.

When it comes to finding your perfect outdoor setting, head to Geelong Outdoor Furniture or Easterly Living in Torquay to find an incredible range to suit every style.

Wall garden and planter boxes

Ever dreamt of having a garden, but worried about limited space? Worry no more.

Wall gardens and smaller planter boxes are an excellent way to keep your outdoor space looking lush and green. An added bonus of a vertical garden is less time and money, with most vertical gardens not requiring additional soil, potting or planting.

It's also easier to maintain and care for your new plant friends, as they can be watered and trimmed all at once!

Grab your vertical garden baskets from Bunnings Warehouse in Waurn Ponds or Torquay. You can also find delightful native plants, herbs and flowers at Geelong Native Plants in Mount Duneed or Wombat Gully Plant Farm in Moolap.

Happy gardening!
