So Moorish...

Bring a little Moorish style to the garden with some Moroccan artefacts and accessories. The bright colours associated with Moroccan culture are built on a history of trade between North Africa and the Atlantic and Mediterranean countries. Shop around and combine vibrant coloured flowers with rich and varied mosaics and patterns for the authentic look.

Moroccan window planters, £19.95 Indulge a passion for all things Moroccan with some genuine old Moroccan windows from Tom Critchley Antique Pots and Urns.

Moroccan lanterns A garden is not complete without a lantern or light and for that genuine Moroccan feel you must include the real thing. These intricate pieces of craftsmanship are each a symbol of the relationship between man and God, and so every lantern in the Moroccan Lantern Company's catalogue has a religious significance as well as a practical application. A vast array of lanterns and Moroccan artefacts are available from £45. Call 01728 663 713 for details.
