Over the past few weeks, I've returned to my TV roots and been doing a lot of TV filming for the Royal Horticultural Society.  I've been filming and editing packages on their gardens and flower shows, so have been tapping into the gardening world!

Two things have become very obvious to me:

1.  Due to the economic climate, people are increasingly interested in gardens for family activities and land to grow their own produce.

2.  There is a roaring trade in chalet type log cabins being sold as home offices.  You need a garden for that.

Are gardens large enough to accommodate this going to become a commodity?

Are houses going to become more popular as a result, both in terms of sales and for rental?

Are we, as Landlords, making the most of our properties gardens as an asset?  I know I'm not and it is something I want to look into more in the future.

At our holiday lets, we have decked the back gardens and put out potted palms to give a "holiday" feel ... plus supplied garden furniture and sun loungers.
