5 Garden Essentials for Autumn

There’s a chill in the air and golden-hued leaves are everywhere, but that doesn’t mean the growing season is over. Extend the life of your crops, maximise autumn harvests and keep growing with these fantastic products.

Zest Outdoor Living – Small-Space Cold Frame – £139.99

The Small-Space Cold Frame is the perfect way to extend the growing season, protect seedlings and ‘harden off’ young or tender plants as they are ready to come out of the greenhouse. The dual opening acrylic glazing allows visibility with protection – ideal for the smaller patio or outdoor space. The cold frame is beautifully designed with galvanised hinges and supporting arms. Made from sustainable slow-grown FSC-certified timber from responsibly managed forests, it’s pressure treated and comes with a 10-year guarantee against rot. 

The Small-Space Cold Frame is designed to fit onto Zest’s best-selling Raised Herb Planter for increased planting depth and easy access.

So, if you’re finding any of your flowers struggling to grow outside, just bring them into your greenhouse and watch them thrive.
