26 of the best garden accessories for your outdoor space

Attracting wildlife to the garden is something we should all be doing, but contemporary creature-friendly kit hasn’t always been easy to track down – until now. New Finnish brand Pidät’s first product is the sleek and stylish ‘Bird Silo’ feeder, made from 100 per cent recycled plastic. £57.50 finnishdesignshop.com

Our shorelines, hedges, riversides, woodlands and even our city streets are all bursting with food – if you know what to look for. Toast’s new foraging kit makes that easy. Included is a copy of John Wright’s acclaimed and highly entertaining The Forager’s Calendar, which acts both as an identification guide and a useful recipe book, as well as everything you need to gather your harvest and get it safely home. £99, toa.st

Outdoor pizza ovens are generally large, built-in affairs, but, at just 85cm high by 37cm wide and 40cm deep, this nifty little freestanding model in attractive Corten steel can fit in the smallest of spaces. Most importantly though, it can reach temperatures of up to 400°C, meaning your margheritas or pepperonis will always have a light, crispy base. £540, rowenandwren.co.uk

Borders and raised beds can sometimes present a bit of a problem for the gardener – there’s not enough room for a full-sized digging spade or fork, but your hand tools can’t quite reach the full depth of the bed. This new range from Devon-based firm Greenman Garden Tools solves that at a stroke, coupling hand-tool sized stainless-steel heads with extra-long, ergonomic ash handles. From £13.99 each, greenmangardentools.com

Herbs are the most evocative of plants. The resinous scent of rosemary; the sherbet hit of lemon verbena... all transport us in a way no potato or cabbage can. Mark Diacono’s latest book Herb perfectly captures these life-enhancing properties, urging us all to make more room for them in our gardens and on our plates. A handy A-Z covers growing, harvesting and uses, while dozens of mouth-watering recipes lure us out of our culinary comfort zones. Hardie Grant, £26, out 15 April

A good pair of secateurs is a must for any gardener and these ones from Japanese brand Sokan more than fit the bill. Hot forged in high carbon steel, they are incredibly strong and well balanced, with the blade and handle crafted from a single piece of metal. An ideal gift, the secateurs come beautifully packaged and are available from Cotswolds-based Genus. £80, genus.gs

Handcrafted in Pikaplant’s studio in Amsterdam, this sleek ‘Geo’ ceramic and glass planter is designed to emulate a natural aquifer, gradually filtering water into the plant’s soil as it’s needed.
