Magazine reading is a must for any backyard lounging session. Modern Farmer has recently caught my eye on the newsstands.
Peonies are trending these days, and there is no wonder why. They add so much texture and color to any space. Buy them to beautify your backyard, or better yet, plant a few bushes.
I love Apolis for their quality products, as well as their mission: empowering communities worldwide. I own one of their classic market bags, and it is a great piece for picnics. This particular bag would be even more ideal because of the pockets and dividers.
My husband does most of the gardening, but these tools would make me get out there more often.
You can't go wrong with a beautiful Woolly. I own a few, and my plants just love them. I especially like that they can be used indoors or outdoors.

Raised vegetable gardens are all the rage. I dig this one because it can be moved if needed.
I have a thing for chairs — bright, modern, graphic and simple chairs. The more the merrier!
This planter leaves me speechless. Isn't it a beauty? It's available in a variety of colors and is perfect for a cactus garden. I'm shaking my head because it's so gorgeous.

Hoses tend to be annoying, but at least this one is pretty.
No backyard oasis is complete without a bird feeder.
This is a very beautiful (and very pricey) rake. I would probably opt for a less expensive one, but I couldn't help but share it.
