With spring officially here, attention has turned to exterior landscaping and once again the focus is on the garden, which some regard as one of the most prized areas of the home. For many homeowners and heads of estate, this time of year reinforces what is missing and what could be added to make this space more enjoyable in the rundown to summer.

A trip to the 2016 RHS Chelsea Flower Show next month is one way to equip yourself with the latest on-trend solutions and ideas to wow your clients.
