We were all set for what was meant to be the best summer in decades, but unfortunately those plans for spending balmy hours socialising in the garden were dampened by grey skies and drizzle. Grant’s Whisky however believes in doing things differently, so when the weather prevents us from making the most of the outdoors, then it’s time to bring the outdoors indoors… Award winning gardener and TV presenter Chris Beardshaw agrees and has come up with top tips on bringing the best of the outdoors indoors. Visit www.grantswhisky.com/gardenafterhours for full details.

To celebrate, Grant’s Whisky have teamed up with us to offer one lucky winner the chance to win a landscape painting of their very own garden painted by local artist Richard Ball, so you can enjoy the beauty of your garden whatever the weather.
