Millions on gardens

BRITS SPEND 2.5 MILLION ON THEIR GARDENS. 26 May 2006 - MoreThan Home Insurance Brits spent £2.5 million on garden goods last year alone.1 UK gardens are now worth £52 billion. 2 MORETHAN offers plant cover up to £2,000 and exterior contents cover up to £2,000 as part of its standard home insurance policy. Forget home interiors, Brits are now spending their hard-earned cash - and lots of it - on their gardens, according to recent research from MORETHAN insurance 3. Despite recent water restrictions, those with a private garden spent £2.5 million on garden goods such as patio heaters and barbecues in the last year alone, and UK gardens are now worth over £52 billion nationwide. One million garden owners spent as much as £1,000 last year on their outdoor space. And it’s in the last two years that the majority (65 per cent) of garden owners have carried out their garden improvements. An obsession with TV garden makeover shows could also be responsible for the outdoor enhancements, as one in eight (12 per cent) garden owners admit it’s shows such as Garden Invaders and events like next week’s Chelsea Flower Show that have inspired them to do up their garden. A strong design element is now a feature in almost a quarter (24 per cent) of UK gardens, and a small but significant 4 per cent have gone as far as having their gardens landscaped by a paid professional.
