Get Your Garden Ready for Spring/Summer today, the Homefire Way
May through to June marks the beginning of longer evenings, warmer weekends, and the perfect excuse to spend more time outdoors. Whether you're planning to host barbecues or simply enjoy a peaceful moment in the garden, now's the time to prep your outdoor space for the sunny season ahead!
Fire Up Your Barbecue The Right Way
It's important to choose the best fuel for your BBQ style. At Homefire, we've got something to suit every kind of barbecue. From Barbecue Briquettes to Instant Light Charcoal and Restaurant Grade Charcoal.
Top Tip: We'll let you in on a not-so-little secret, our Homefire Restaurant Grade Charcoal is the most popular barbecue fuel amongst our customers and restaurateurs.
Stock Up Early
Don't get caught short when the sun makes a surprise appearance. Keep a supply of charcoal, firelighters, and kindling ready to go so you can seize the moment whenever the grilling mood strikes. Did you know? You can subscribe and save on our products, so you're never caught short.
Clean and Check Your Grill
Give your barbecue a once-over before the first use. Clean the grill plates, check gas or charcoal trays, and make sure any rust is under control. A bit of maintenance now saves stress later.
Refresh Your Garden Space
Feed Those Plants:
Get your garden blooming this season with Homefire’s garden range, packed with eco-friendly and practical essentials.

Explore the full collection and give your garden the care it deserves.
Tidy Up the Essentials:
If you’re having people over for a barbecue, you want your garden to look nice, too. Rake up any leftover leaves, weed your flower beds, and give your lawn its first proper mow of the season. A little clean-up goes a long way in making your space feel fresh and welcoming.
Bring in Colour:
May is the perfect time to plant vibrant bedding flowers like petunias, marigolds, and geraniums. Add some potted herbs near your barbecue area for beauty and flavour—think rosemary, thyme, and mint.
Add Ambience with Fire and Light
As evenings stretch later, keep the atmosphere going with subtle outdoor lighting and warm touches:
- Use Heat Logs in a fire pit for a cosy, eco-friendly heat source that takes the chill off.
- Solar string lights or lanterns can add a magical touch to trees, fences, and pergolas.
Ready, Set, Relax
Whether you’re planning casual family meals, entertaining friends, or enjoying a quiet coffee in the morning sun, a well-prepped garden and barbecue setup can make May your favourite month of the year.
