How to buy the best gazebo for your garden
What to look for in a pop-up gazebo, and how to pick the best gazebo for your garden. Plus how to decide whether to pay more or buy the budget version.
I’ve put my favourite gardening saying ‘Gardeners Learn By Trowel and Error’ on a mug, t-shirt and organic cotton tote bag. That’s to remind you not to worry about gardening – you’ll often be wonderfully surprised. Find them at the Middlesized Garden Spring Store.
This page is also about useful or inspirational garden stuff. Some is sent to me free to review. Some items have affiliate links, so I may get a small percentage if you buy. Everything is here because I think you’d like it too. Find lists of my favourite garden tools, books and other garden products on The Middlesized Garden Amazon storefront.
