About Areca palm
Fabulous green fronds fill any space the Areca palm calls home, second only to the massive Monstera in its popularity and standout nature.
It's an air-purifying wonder, with added humidity boosting abilities for those who find their living or working spaces just a little too dry. The Areca looks great and makes those who see it feel good too, thanks to the amazing power of nature and greenery.
It hails originally from the tropics of Madagascar (though ours come from the UK), so you can be sure of an added tropical vibe when you add an Areca to your home.
Liven up your living room, dress up your dining room, or just create a tropical paradise wherever you please with this top-tier palm!

About Kookaburra
Kookaburra sail shades were born from a desire to bring a modern look and feel to UK gardens. Every garden with a kookaburra sail shade stands out, while those underneath it get to enjoy sun (and rain) protection without sacrificing style.
They’re hard-wearing and come with a 2-year warranty so you can rest easy in the shade, installable in less than an afternoon. Our sail shades come in both waterproof and breathable varieties, where cool air can pass and hot air can escape, creating the perfect place to sit on a hot day.
We love bringing quick and stylish shade to our customer’s gardens, and with multiple shapes available there’s always a sail that suits. Over 500 colourful and high-quality sail shades are available, and we love to see our customer’s photos of sails covering barbecues, patios, lawns and more!
