It’s been a scorcher in many parts of Australia this summer and there’s still plenty of time to lap up the sun in your backyard (in moderation of course). There’s no doubt that an Aussie backyard needs some protection and our outdoor shade feature has you covered. Our designer gardens include an outstanding space that took home an award at the 2016 Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show. A notable feature of the design is an espalier tree that is used as a living feature that crawls up a wall encased by hedges.

Is your backyard in need of a little TLC? Our outdoor maintenance guide provides an outdoor checklist of sorts to get your garden in top shape. While you’re at it, why not add some of the latest pots and planters or spruce your existing ones — we show you how.

The weather is fine and we are all spending more time out in our backyards. Unfortunately, the summer sun can wreak havoc on your lawn and garden. Our water-wise garden feature will show you how to take the best care of your lawn and plants without wasting precious water. We also visit an incredible country estate in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales. This elegant, rustic-themed property features an English planting scheme, extensive use of natural materials, impressive kitchen garden, expansive lawns and dam and a woodland dell.

Is your backyard fully equipped but you can’t escape the feeling that something is missing? Our features and designer gardens this edition show how you can take your space to the next level — including some amazing garden art.

With summer upon us, now is the time to turn your water-guzzling garden into a water-wise one. Armed with the expert advice in the next edition of Backyard, you’ll be able to create a water-savvy garden in no time. Of course, one of the best parts of summer is hosting a good old-fashioned cook-out. Our outdoor cooking feature provides everything you need to know on selecting a barbecue and designing an alfresco kitchen, as well as tips from celebrity chefs Maggie Beer and Matt Moran. If you like to entertain but feel something is missing from your backyard, it might be some well-chosen items of garden art. Incorporating outdoor art is your chance to personalise your backyard and we show you how. And for the kitchen gardeners, we have stories on growing chillies and capsicums – just the thing to spice up your summer entertaining.
