Want to make an impact in the garden without spending more than a fiver?

Caroline Thornborough, co-founder of eco paint specialists Thorndown Paints, reveals how – with just a £5 150ml pot of paint – you can add colour and character to even the drabbest of gardens.

She said: “As with our interiors, outside a fresh splash of paint can have a huge effect on how our gardens not only look but feel too.

“Adding some small pops of your favourite colour is an instant mood booster. And even with the most limited of budgets, there are plenty of ways you can breathe new life into existing pots and planters.”

The 150ml sample pot is big enough to tackle small projects and as well as giving the most tired-looking of accessories a new look, it will also help protect them against the elements. After all, Thorndown’s Wood Paint is a high-performing product that produces a durable and highly-repellent coating to prevent water ingress.
