Win a superb set of garden furniture

SUMMER has arrived, and you are relaxing in the garden, but are you sitting comfortably, and in garden furniture that also happens to look good? No? Well, The Garden Armchair Company can make you quality chairs and settees, hand-crafted by people who care about wood, and who will guarantee that you will sit in the most comfortable garden furniture ever. The first Scottish company to make the classic range of Adirondack furniture uses African Iroko timber because of its high durability and maximum weather resistance - making the pieces ideally suited to the variations of the Scottish climate.

Each piece is handmade to order and is delivered fully assembled, and fully treated to go straight into the garden on arrival. All fixings used are either stainless steel or brass, and the furniture is guaranteed for five years.

See thegardenarmchair.co.uk Prices range from a single Adirondack chair costing £179 including delivery anywhere on mainland UK to £279 for the two-seater bench.

Win free tickets to a unique maze

MAZES have a certain magic, and it's a shame there are so few of them. But this summer the Borders has one of its own - and it sounds rather special. The Fishwick Mains Amazing Maize Maze will be about 4ft 6in high when it opens on July 14 and should be about 10ft by the time it closes eight weeks later. It's designed in the shape of two leaping salmon, though that won't be apparent as you wander in increasing desperation round its three miles of pathways.

It's been designed by maze master Adrian Fisher, who has created more than 200 mazes around the world.

Open July 14-September 15, 11am-5pm, details on
