Expert chooses best garden furniture from Chelsea

A judge from this year’s Chelsea Flower Show has revealed which pieces of garden furniture caught her eye at the annual event.

Bunny Guinness has described a pale green and cream outdoor dining set from Garden Iron’s Hampton range as "superb value" at £395.

Writing for the Daily Telegraph, she also revealed that hanging seats exhibited by Raw Studio as "perfect for adorning an old apple tree".

Holloway’s "giant apple" Pomme de Jardin wicker chair was also praised by the judge.

"A large sphere, two metres in diameter, it could double up as a cosy, overnight bedroom for two children or friendly adults. It would look good in an orchard as well as on a terrace," she wrote for the newspaper.

The Independent recently name-checked a number of firms for people looking to introduce eco-friendly furniture to their home and garden.

According to the newspaper, Cohda Design and Eat Sleep Live are among the best companies using recycled materials to create products.
