Many thanks to Claritin for sponsoring my post today about outdoor dining.
Whether you have an extensive backyard or a tiny balcony garden, once summer hits you'll want to take advantage of those sunny days and warm evenings and dine al fresco as much as possible. If allergies are keeping you indoors, there's a few things you can do with your garden (big or small) so that it's a space you can enjoy throughout the summer. Spending time in the garden later in the day means you'll avoid the worst of the pollen, which is at its peak in early morning. Planting low allergy plants such as gladiolas, peonies and flowering trees are also a great way to have beauty and colour in your garden without having to stay inside to enjoy it. Here are some lovely outdoor dining ideas, to get you out there and enjoying everything from elaborate summer suppers to a simple ice cream cone.
