What to do in the garden in September? 5 tips for enjoying the outdoors for longer
1. Make your garden a place for cooler evenings
In September, temperatures can still be pleasant during the day, while evenings van quickly turn cooler. A comfortable place to sit can make all the difference.
Place your favorite chair in a sheltered spot and add something warm, such as a wool blanket or sheepskin. This way, you don't have to head inside as soon as the sun goes down.
The Fieldchair is made for moments like these. With the Sheepscoat, you add a soft, warm layer and create a comfortable spot to stay outside a little longer.
2. Make the most of the changing light
There is something special about the light in September. The bright summer sun gives way to softer, warmer light, while the evenings slowly grow darker.
Use lighting to keep your garden inviting after a sunset. Instead of lighting up the entire garden, focus on the places where you like to sit or gather together.
A subtly lit seating area can instantly feel like an extension of your home, only outdoors.
3. Make fire a place to gather
There is something captivating about fire. As the temperature drops, a fire becomes the naturel centre of the garden.
Use a fire source to add warmth and atmosphere to an evening outdoors. Sit by the fire with a cup of coffee in the morning, cook together or stay outside for a while after dinner to continue the conversation.
The beauty of fire is that it doesn't just provide warmth; it also encourages you to slow down. There's nowhere else you need to be. You can simply stay and enjoy the moment.
4. Keep cooking outdoors
Who says outdoor cooking is only for summer?
September is actually a great month for cooking outdoors. Temperatures are often still pleasant and it naturally becomes more appealing to prepare dishes that can take a little longer over the fire.
With an Outdooroven, cooking becomes part of being outdoors. Bake a pizza, roast vegetables or prepare a dish over the fire. While the food is cooking, there is plenty of time to stay outside and enjoy the moment together.
Outdoor cooking is about more than just food. It's about taking your time, being together and enjoying the fire.
5. Let the outdoor season continue
Perhaps this is the most important tip of all: don't pack away your outdoor life too soon.
Summer may be almost over, but the garden is still there. With comfortable furniture, a warm layer, atmospheric lighting and a place for fire or outdoor cooking, you can continue to enjoy outdoor living for a long time.
September isn't the end of outdoor living. It's the begin of a different season outside.
Stay outside longer
The transition from summer to autumn doesn't have to be mean moving indoors. In fact, as the days change, new opportunities to spend outside begin to emerge.
Make yourself comfortable, seek out the warmth and take your time, because perhaps the best way to end summer is simply to stay outside a little longer.
