Did you know that Natural England reports that people who spend at least 120 minutes a week in nature are significantly more likely to report good health and higher psychological wellbeing?
That’s just 17 minutes a day.
As we move into May and the days grow longer, there’s a noticeable shift in energy. People are out more, gardens come back to life, and there’s a renewed sense of connection to the outdoors. Beyond the obvious enjoyment, there is something quietly powerful about simply being outside at this time of year.
Making the Most of Your Outdoor Space
Whether it’s a well-kept lawn, a few potted plants, or a larger garden, these spaces become an extension of the home during the warmer months.
At EFA International, this is naturally our busiest time of year. The garden season is now fully in swing, and we’ve been working behind the scenes to improve our product range ready for the months ahead.
This year, we’ve redesigned our grass seed packaging into a more practical point-of-sale box, complete with clear sowing instructions. Our Shademax range is now focused on both a 1kg and 5kg offering, helping to support gardens of all sizes – particularly those more challenging shaded areas.
Preparing for ‘Spider Season’
Warmer weather doesn’t just bring plants and people back outside – it also marks the beginning of what many refer to as ‘Spider Season’.
For some households, this can quickly become a nuisance indoors. Over the past few years, we’ve seen growing demand for natural, humane solutions, and we’re incredibly proud that our range is now approaching 2,000 verified reviews on Amazon, maintaining an average rating of 4 stars and above.
It’s a reflection of how many households are now choosing eco-friendly ways to manage their living spaces.
A Season to Enjoy
So however you choose to spend your time in the coming months – whether that’s relaxing in the garden, working on your lawn, or simply enjoying a few extra minutes outdoors each day – it’s worth making the most of the opportunity.
If you’re looking to keep your home and garden in balance this season, we have a range of eco-friendly solutions designed to help you do just that.
As always, thank you for your continued support.
