Garden Ornaments in Plymouth

Choosing garden ornaments for Plymouth starts with the local weather, not the catalogue. Plymouth combines mild winters with real exposure to Atlantic wind and salt. Anyone who has walked round Saltram in February knows what the season does to anything left standing outside.

What lasts in Plymouth gardens

• Salt does more damage than frost here. Salt-laden wind pits bare metal far faster than cold ever will. Stone-effect resin, powder-coated steel and glazed finishes hold up best within a mile or two of the water; rinse exposed pieces with fresh water a couple of times over winter.
• A long season, and a long season for moss. Mild winters mean the garden is worth looking at in January, and that solar pieces still light. It also means moss never really stops, so plan on a rinse each spring.

Everything we sell is picked to stay outdoors all year across South 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.
