Get ready for great British summertime

The UK’s leading home improvement and garden retailer, B&Q, launches its biggest ever spring-summer ranges of outdoor living and grow your own lines.

Number one for gardeners: B&Q is Britain’s largest garden centre and summer 2010 will see the green-fingered experts offer customers its best ever choice for everyone wanting to enjoy the great outdoors. You can find garden essentials, from tools, pots and planters, seeds and watering cans, to all the other accessories that every gardener needs to celebrate the great British summer. Moreover, to mark the nation’s enthusiasm for growing their own, B&Q is introducing a new range of Grow Your Own products. And, let’s not forget little green fingers – this summer even the tiniest gardener has been looked after with a range of garden accessories designed for smaller hands.

What better way to celebrate the World Cup than with a barbecue. B&Q sells models to suit every family from portable mini versions to those large and powerful enough to feed a whole football team. Plus, this year, camping has lost its Boy Scout connotations and more of us are planning trips under canvas.

Summer 2010 sees B&Q launch its first ever camping collection; everything the camper or festival goer needs to enjoy the great outdoors in comfort and at great value.

In 2010, enjoy your garden during summer nights, as well as during the daytime, with B&Q’s collection of outdoor low voltage and LED lights. Plus, as Brits get more adventurous with their exterior choices, the garden furniture range from B&Q has been designed to offer customers the chance to stamp their individual style on their outdoors space.

But it’s not just about product for 2010, B&Q is aiming to help the nation spring into action with a host of advice and inspiration in store; 48 hours is all it takes to make a huge difference to the home or garden. The aim is to empower Brits to tackle jobs such as insulating their loft, decorating their lounge, building a shed or making-over their bathroom in just a weekend - they can then sit back, relax and enjoy it… B&Q is even launching DIY classes to give everyone the skills they need to tackle indoor and outdoor jobs this summer.
