A fire pit creates a primal connection to the garden. One that’s layered with social and communal meaning. Here’s how to add one to your patch of green.

In this article we cover:

• Types of fire pits
• Where to put it and how it ties in with the garden
• How to use it
• Fuel types

What we get out of gardening seems to change every couple of years. From something to do (to potter about or grow your own), to something to have (boosting kerb appeal or perfecting exterior design) and now, something that nurtures wellbeing.
