Garden Ornaments in Exeter

What works in a Exeter garden is not quite what works two counties away. Exeter enjoys one of the gentler winters in England, with frost more occasional than constant. Spend a wet afternoon at Rougemont Gardens and you get a fair idea of which materials are still standing after a few seasons.

What lasts in Exeter gardens

• 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.

We only stock pieces we would leave out ourselves through a South West England winter: stone-effect resin, cast stone, coated metal, treated timber and solar that keeps working when the days are short.
