Create your own pop-up garden in the city

The outdoor season is here! See how you can enjoy the arrival of spring, even if you live right in the city. Simply pack a light bag or two, and head out to find a green patch to borrow.

An evening on the town

A small park or a bench lined with greenery is all you need to kick-start spring. Just pack the necessities and go. For extra cosiness and an added sense of adventure: make it a night-time outing.

Find a seat and make it yours

Don’t underestimate what a little effort can do for the mood. Take one minute to hang some decorative lighting and make the evening twice as nice.

Bring some extra warmth

Springtime temperatures are often a gamble. To be safe, bring a hot beverage. And then you might bring something to nibble on, too. (If you have trouble deciding, the link offers suggestions.)

There is no such thing as too cosy

You may be in a public place, but tonight it’s yours. No need to compromise on comfort, so bring cushions and throws to soften the spot just right.
