Picking the perfect spot in the garden
If you have a huge back patio, it can be quite difficult to pick the perfect spot for a picnic in the garden. Whereas you might have fewer options in the case of a small garden. Either way, you should consider an outdoor fireplace that keeps you comfortable in the evening and provides a lovely focal point for your family conversations in the summer.
In the case of a big garden, pick a spot that is a bit more private. It will give you the feeling of being away from the house which is always a nice thing. Keep the weather conditions in mind when you pick the spot as well. A spot where you can lay a blanket and sit comfortably for a good amount of time is the ideal spot for a picnic in the backyard.
