It is thanks to Eric Pickles who suspended the Home Information Packs (HIPs) which has prevented a slump in an already fragile housing market. According to Rightmove.co.uk, the new government decision has actually increased 22% of sellers coming into the market. This is therefore having a direct impact on average notional price increases in the housing market.

With this excellent news at our fingertips, now is the time to add some extra value onto your property, by creating that dream garden. Improving your garden can add 10% to the value of your property. AVS Fencing Supplies have a huge range of materials to 'add' that something special.

Why not add some decking, trellising or even some railway sleepers? Railway sleepers also make great raised bed walls. Or perhaps you may want to improve your kerb appeal? Try some of our garden or driveway gates. We have a range of metal gates and timber gates.

Our good friends at the BBC have written an interesting article about the effects of gardening for children. Their report of 1,300 teachers and 10 schools indicated that children who were involved in gardening were more resilient, confident and most importantly, lived healthier lives. You can see the report by clicking here.

Dr Kroon comments on the importance of the research conclusion and hopes that the new coalition government consider this in their new approach to primary curriculum, by understanding the real benefits of having an ideal garden. The report said: "it encouraged pupils to become more active in solving problems, as well as boosting literacy and numeracy skills."

Perhaps we should also encourage the coalition government to build a garden in the Houses of Parliament to help them figure out how to reduce the deficit in a painless way – although we wouldn't want the cost being added to their expenses!

Like Dr Kroon, we at AVS want to inspire you to create a garden, whether as a family, or an individual, so you can start to enjoy the fruits of your labour. Our new Railway Sleepers are the ideal product to create a raised bed for vegetation. Or perhaps try or our Decking Ranges to enjoy at the end of the week for some much needed relaxation. Whatever you desire for that dream garden, here at AVS we try to provide you with all you need.
