I was planning to improve our patio place and our garden. But don't know yet what are the things that I need to do. I was thinking of adding some decorations in it. This is my lists of what I want to put in my garden and patio: 1. http://www.buytikitorches.com 2. amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_11?url=search-alias%3Dlawngarden&field-keywords=patio+umbrella&sprefix=patio+umbre,aps,398&rh=n:2972638011,k:patio+umbrella Do you think they will make my patio and garden attractive and back to life again?

Lights and shade umbrellas are both good, but both present some potential problems. Naked flame lights are romantic but can be a pain if its windy. they also need fuel - so lots of effort required for that lovely flicker look. Shade umbrellas have a nice market feel about them but again can be a pain when its windy. I prefer a fixed pergola with shade cloth across personally. Consider plants in large pots - plenty of greenery in close proximity is a great way to add a good feel to a patio. Re: Patio and Garden Ideas.

I know just mowing and weeding my garden makes it brand new.lol I too love the tiki torches etc but as we live in a windy area, they are a no go. So ive opted for hurrican lamps instead.
