Sometimes it’s not the finished product but the process that’s needed to get there that provides the most enjoyment, as Blackdown’s self-build customers will testify
You may have been playing the winter waiting game, itching to get busy in the garden – but April is finally here, the weather has turned a corner, and it’s time to enjoy all the potential that your garden has to offer for the year ahead.
For many, those plans extend way beyond a little garden maintenance and growing, with ambitious plans to create a unique space that can be cherished for generations to come. This is always a time of year when the talented folk at Blackdown Shepherd Huts see increased interest in their range of shepherd huts – from bespoke designs, to turnkey huts, to self-build options, there’s something to suit all needs.
And for some, that need is to get creative and realise a dream of building their own little corner of escapism. Often there’s a yearning to reconnect to skills learnt from older generations, or a burning ambition to build something meaningful.
And once your shepherd hut is finished, it can be enjoyed in so many ways – perhaps as a home office, additional space to hang out or host guests, or perhaps home to a small business such as a quirky B&B.
Whatever your dream, the team at Blackdown are on hand to support you through the process, from ordering the kit, through building the hut, to personalising your eventual space. With years of skill and knowledge, Blackdown’s video guidance or friendly voice at the end of a phone call can make all the difference to the enjoyment of the process. And for further inspiration, why not pay a visit to the Blackdown Display Garden in Ilminster, Somerset, to see just how special the finished product can be.
One pair who took advantage of Blackdown’s self-build set up is Jane and Richard from Mickleton in the Durham Dales, who now share their stunning location with guests at Toadlands Shepherd Huts (toadlandsshepherdhuts.co.uk). “Blackdown gave us the confidence to self-build a quality product all the way from idea to realisation,” says Jane. With such a sense of achievement to be gained from creating your vision, it’s not hard to see why Blackdown Shepherd Huts have provided so much enjoyment for so many years, and will continue to do so for many, many more to come.
