Opt for handmade invitations
A smart occasion deserves a formal invitation. Choose pretty stationary to match your tableware, and tie envelopes with ribbon for a stylish finishing touch – or you could try making your own.

Make pretty place cards
A good old-fashioned seating plan adds to the sense of occasion. Make a party feel special with hand-written place cards. Make your own from folded card decorated with ribbon, and tuck them into champagne flutes.

Invest in smart china
Keep things simple on the table, making it feel special with silver-edged chinaware. You can’t go wrong with a crisp white set. Team with pretty place mats in a soft shade, to add subtle colour to the table.

Don’t forget the cutlery
Take an informal approach to laying the table to keep the mood relaxed and convivial — place sparkling cutlery in the centre of the table so guests can help themselves.

Add elegant finishing touches
Choose fresh flowers and gather into posies. Hang on chairs with a simple ribbon tie so that guests can take them home at the end of the evening.

Set the mood
Create a sense of occasion by hanging striking paper decorations and dressing the table with fresh flowers. Whether you prefer pop or classical, a little background music will add to the mood.

Choose the right lighting
Good lighting will take your evening into the night. Make the most of every hour in the garden with fairylights suitable for outdoor use, like these gorgeous flower ones. Flickering candles will add extra shimmer and sparkle.

Create an ambient pathway
Lead guests to the party by creating a pathway with classic lanterns to light the way. Scatter a few petals in between the lanterns for a pretty finishing touch.

Feed and nurture
Liquid-feed container plants once a week; a seaweed or comfrey tea solution is best.

Take care against frost
We can still suffer sudden frosts at night, so keep an eye on blossoming and nascent fruit trees, seedlings and tender plants; cover with cloches or fleece wherever possible to protect them.

Sow and plant
Continue to plant perennials, summer-flowering bulbs and pond plants, sow vegetables and herbs, and plant potatoes.

Remember to prune
Prune early-flowering shrubs and early clematis after they have flowered.

Neaten the lawn
If you are not leaving it to grow into something more like an organic meadow, the lawn can be mowed now, but avoid doing it when the grass is very wet. Collect the cuttings and compost, or leave to rot back into the ground.

Set up support for perenials
Look ahead to the time when your perennials will be heavy with flowers and will droop, leaving open gaps in your border plantings. To avoid this, stake young perennial plants now; choose supports that suit the plant’s growth style: bamboo sticks for tall, straight plants, twigs for mound-shaped plants.

Acclimatise young plants
Harden off plants that have been grown under cover; do this by bringing them out into the garden during the day only at this stage.

Plant out tomatoes
Plant out tomato plants, removing the side shoots of cordon varieties.

Socialable garden space
Try creating different functional zones in your garden. Here, limestone paving and black polished pebbles help to divide the space into separate living areas. The garden sits above a basement office, so eye-catching skylights have been integrated into the paving. Slatted cedar fencing is lined with a backlit glass screen to add drama. Sturdy but comfortable seating is ideal for a relaxed outdoor living space.

Eclectic courtyard
Add depth and interest to your space by mixing textures. The walls in this split-level courtyard are built from recycled wooden planks in contrast to the galvanised steel edging that delineates the space. The reflective quality of the edging also helps to create a sense of length. Timber seating in the patio area contains handy storage.

Cool kids’ zone
Child-friendly gardens don’t have to be full of garish plastic. This smart set-up includes a cedar playhouse, swing and climbing frame. The ground is covered with maintenance-free artificial grass over a rubber mat, which means no bald patches from wear and tear.

Smart garden terrace
Who said a garden has to be on the ground? This modern roof terrace is wonderfully lush yet low maintenance. To make it stand out, a deck board has been replaced with glass underlit by neon light, which adds interest and emphasises the length of the deck. Easy-care box balls in rusted steel planters create an elegant, formal feel.

New-modernist garden
Much like its adjoining house, this modern garden is defined by clean lines and blocky shapes. Introducing different heights – from sunken plants that emerge out of the decking, to a raised white planter box that echoes the building design – creates all the drama necessary in this cool design.

Small decked garden
The wooden decking in this sunken garden appears to continue from the floors to the walls, making the space feel secluded and enclosed from the outside world. Creating an almost outdoor living room here, the furniture and rug enhance the cosy theme.

Colourful modern garden
Not for the faint-hearted, this colourful garden has hot pink, built-in seats that double as plant containers. Combined with the slate floor tiles, the pink is all the more striking, while the lush green plants help to add to the summery feel.

Statement garden wall art
When winter comes and plants have wilted, a painted mural will continue to bring colour to a garden. A graffiti design is a striking urban statement. The white decking ensures all attention is drawn to the artwork.
