As Lanzarote’s gardens become a bigger part of home life in the autumn months, thoughtful planting, pottery and landscaping can help turn outdoor areas into welcoming places to gather.
For many people living in Lanzarote, some of the best moments at home happen outdoors. A drink beside the pool, lunch on the patio or an evening with friends can all feel more enjoyable when the surrounding garden is healthy, colourful and well arranged.
September is a good time to consider whether an outdoor space is making the most of its potential. A few carefully chosen plants can add colour to an established garden, while larger pots, volcanic rocks and picón can introduce structure and definition.
The challenge in Lanzarote is choosing plants that can cope with the island’s demanding conditions. Flower Power Garden Centre has specialised in plants suitable for the local climate since 2006, with a selection ranging from flowers and herbs to mature plants, cacti and succulents.
The centre’s display garden is designed to help visitors see how plants work together rather than simply viewing them individually. It provides inspiration for possible combinations and gives an indication of how plants develop and the treatment they need.
Pottery and decoration can also play a role in shaping an outdoor space. Planters allow greenery to be introduced around patios, terraces and pool areas, while offering a solution for homes without traditional garden space. Flower Power has a selection of ceramic pottery and gardening decoration in addition to its plants.
For homeowners looking at a more substantial transformation, the landscaping team can advise on the planning and design of gardens of all sizes. Patios, paths and other constructions can be incorporated alongside planting, with volcanic rocks used for features including flower beds, paths and walls.
Picón is another distinctly Lanzarotean material used in garden design. Available in black or red, the island’s lava ash can help retain water in the soil while creating visual contrast within planted areas.
There is also the practical side of keeping an attractive garden looking its best. Flower Power offers garden maintenance covering areas such as fertilising, weed and pest control, pruning, contour cutting and supervision of automatic irrigation systems.
For property owners who are not on the island throughout the year, maintenance can be arranged around their requirements, with updates provided by email. With autumn approaching, September offers a useful opportunity to look beyond individual plants and consider the whole outdoor setting – creating a garden that is ready to be enjoyed when family and friends gather.
