If you're looking for a good looking, environmentally sound set of garden furniture, then look no further than the range of green garden furniture on offer from Thomas and Lucia.
It's quite hard to find truly 'green' garden furniture - wooden furniture tends to be made from hardwood which is able to withstand the vagaries of the weather better than easy to grow softwoods and wickers, but the problem with this from a 'green' standpoint is that hardwood trees are much slower growing and traditionally these woods have been brought in from rainforest areas.
Thomas and Lucia don't believe in adding to global deforestation, which is why all of our hardwood furniture is sourced from manufacturers who are FSC accredited, producing hardwoods 'grown for the purpose' in a renewable and sustainable way. All the hardwood furniture we supply is manufactured from trees specifically grown for the purpose and so replanting is managed on at least a tree for tree basis, with the rights of both indigenous and plantation workers protected. This way the future supply of hardwood for furniture is maintained, in an ecologically and socially acceptable way. The full set of rules laid down by the FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council) can be seen on their website.
Thomas and Lucia provide a good range of green garden furniture from Neptune, who supply beautifully made and environmentally friendly hardwood furniture from renewable sources. This furniture is long lasting, being made of close grain hardwood which does not allow the ingress of large amounts of water like softwood furniture may do. All fittings are of high quality and will stay rust free with maintenance for years.
What if you want a truly storable high quality alternative to hardwood garden furniture? Well, Thomas and Lucia believe the range on offer from Jonart Designs, which uses high grade metal instead of hardwood gives a viable green alternative to hardwood, as it gives the look of wood, with a high quality finish and the foldability, easy storage and low maintenance of plastic furniture.
The Wimbledon range of furniture from Jonart Designs offers practicality and good looks, and is available in a faded green painted colour which will look great in any garden.
