Garden Ornaments in Wrexham

What works in a Wrexham garden is not quite what works two counties away. Wrexham catches Welsh rain and English frost, which narrows what lasts outside. Spend a wet afternoon at Erddig and you get a fair idea of which materials are still standing after a few seasons.

What lasts in Wrexham gardens

• Drainage under the ornament matters. A piece sitting in a puddle stays wet for months. Set ornaments on gravel, a paving slab or a couple of pot feet, and they will dry between downpours instead of going green.
• Watch where the cold air settles. Frost pools at the lowest point of a garden and against north-facing walls. If you have a hollow that stays white until midday, put the resin and stone pieces there and keep ceramic elsewhere.

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