Garden Ornaments in Chester

If you garden in Chester, the weather decides what survives outside long before taste does. Chester's walled, sheltered gardens stay milder than the open Cheshire plain around them. Spend a wet afternoon at Grosvenor Park and you get a fair idea of which materials are still standing after a few seasons.

What lasts in Chester gardens

• Green film is the local nuisance. In a wet climate algae is the thing that ages an ornament, not frost. Smooth resin and glazed finishes wipe clean in seconds; deeply textured stone holds the green and needs a brush.
• You can leave almost everything out all year. Frost is occasional rather than constant, so pieces stay out and keep working through winter. The trade-off is a longer growing season for algae and moss, so an annual clean matters more than usual.

Everything we sell is picked to stay outdoors all year across North West England, in stone-effect resin, cast stone, powder-coated metal, treated timber and weatherproof solar. If a piece cannot take a British winter, it does not go in the range.
