Absolutely, lighting is a fantastic addition to any garden offering two gardens for the price of one. If you’re like me and time poor, only getting some free time in the evenings, what better way to relax than flicking on the outside lights and kicking back.

But be warned, there are very few garden designers who have undertaken any professional instruction in lighting design. Hence the abundance homes and gardens that look like airport terminals. Ask your designer if they have any experience with lighting and ask for a lighting plan to accompany any proposals.
