Across the world people cherish their outdoor space, but the use and style of gardens vary across the world.
Warm climates can be tricky for growing plants and keeping the lawn looking green, so many properties in hotter countries tend to favour succulents and instead of having grass might use nice paving stones, gravel and decking areas to create different textures and spaces within the garden.
Cool climates are equally tricky for keeping plants alive, in countries that get cold over the winter we suggest using planting pots that could be moved inside over the coldest months. Also consider researching some trees that can withstand the cold weather to keep the outside green all year round.
