BUBBLES

WOW! The best thing I've seen for a long time - the Bubble Pot from www.obbligato.co.za.

Made of fibreglass and available in 600mm and 900mm diameter. Supplied in white but also painted in any colour as required.

GREEN

Astrantia major sub. involucrata Shaggy

Wonderful green/white flowers perform above dark green deeply cut leaves. It flowers from late May into June.

Great for containers but requires a good water retentive compost.

MINI BARBS

The 'Mini Cube' from www.thedesignhouse.dk is powder coated or nickel galvanised with a cast iron grill.

This must be one of the best designed small bbqs. Perfect for table top cooking allowing diners to cook their own food and become really involved with the meal preparation.

DECKCHAIR DREAMS

This summer 2008, The Royal Parks Foundation, the charity for Londons eight Royal parks, celebrates a new collection of 'Deckchair Dreams'. ( www.deckchairdreams.org )

Each year a range of superb deckchairs are created to be sold for the charity. The chairs are all designed by chosen artists in various fields.

This year, they are delighted to welcome visionary artists, cartoonists, book illustrators, fashion designers, thespians, soldiers and taxidermists to their list of generous contributors. These include Tracey Emin, Marc Quinn, Keith Tyson, Matthew Williamson, Raymond Briggs and Joanna Lumley - plus many more.

The Deckchair Artists have generously donated their designs to create a special limited-edition collection of these deckchairs..

Each deckchair has a solid merpauh wood frame (from a sustainable source) and a quality artist's woven canvas that you can enjoy for years to come.  The canvas only, can also be purchased without a frame.
