Euro's 2024, is your garden ready?

Transform your garden with Proud Gardens! Imagine hosting an unforgettable garden party for the Euros 2024 in a stunning outdoor setting. Start by upgrading your decking to composite decking. This modern solution is not only visually appealing but also offers durability and low maintenance, making it a convenient choice. Composite decking is resistant to fading, staining, and scratching, ensuring your deck looks pristine season after season. It’s perfect for entertaining guests and adds a touch of elegance to any garden.

Consider adding a garden summer house for a cosy retreat. This charming addition provides a shaded spot during the day and a warm, inviting space for evening gatherings, offering a sense of comfort and relaxation. It’s ideal for watching the matches in comfort, away from the elements. Decorate your summer house with team colours, fairy lights, and comfortable seating to create the perfect atmosphere for cheering on your favourite team.

For a low-maintenance and consistently beautiful lawn, switch to artificial grass. Artificial grass stays green and lush all year round, with no need for mowing, watering, or fertilising, providing a sense of relief. It’s perfect for high-traffic areas and creates a smooth, even surface for outdoor activities. Plus, it’s kid and pet-friendly, ensuring a safe and clean environment for all your guests.

To ensure your guests are comfortable:

  1. Mix up seating options with outdoor sofas, lounge chairs, bean bags, and even blankets with cushions for a relaxed vibe.

  2. Arrange these in a semi-circle around the screen to give everyone a good view.

  3. Use pergolas, umbrellas, or pop-up gazebos to provide shade during day matches and shelter in case of unexpected weather changes.

Adding fairy lights or lanterns can create a cosy atmosphere for evening games.

Invest in a quality outdoor projector and screen. Ensure the screen is positioned where it won’t be affected by glare. Test your setup in advance to troubleshoot any technical issues. Decorate your garden with the colours of the participating teams or your favourite team. Use flags, bunting, and tablecloths to create a festive environment. Small garden flags of the competing nations can add a playful touch. Place these around your garden or along pathways to guide your guests. String lights, solar-powered garden lamps, and LED candles can add warmth and charm, creating an inviting atmosphere that lasts from day into night.

Please set up a barbecue area where guests can help grilled goodies. Include options like burgers, sausages, veggie skewers, and corn on the cob. Don’t forget sides like salads, dips, and chips. Keep a cooler stocked with a selection of cold drinks – beers, soft drinks, and plenty of water. For a fun twist, create a signature cocktail inspired by the host country, Germany. Setting up a mini bar with various spirits and mixers allows guests to make drinks.

Make sure your garden is match-ready with a few final touches. Mow the lawn and prune the flowers. Add some potted plants or hanging baskets for a splash of colour. A few well-placed outdoor rugs can tie everything together and make the space feel like an outdoor living room. To keep the excitement going, organize some halftime activities. Set a small goal for a penalty shootout competition or have a football trivia quiz. Provide small prizes for the winners to add an extra layer of fun.

To capture the memories of your Euros 2024 garden party, set up a photo booth area with fun props like oversized footballs, team scarves, and hats. This gives guests something to do during halftime and creates lasting memories of the event. With some preparation and creativity, your garden can become the ultimate viewing spot for the Euros 2024. Enjoy the games, the company, and the beautiful outdoors!
