A Teesside landscaping company is hosting an event to show off garden audio innovations.

Wilkinson Landscapes is collaborating with Clever Association to hold a sound demonstration at the North East's most substantial plant centre near Teesside Airport.

On Saturday 10th August 2024 at the Wilkinson Plant Centre, in Eaglescliffe they'll be revealing the latest updates in external audio systems aiming to transform gardens to be both stylish and useful for outdoor activities.

Simon Wilkinson, managing director of Wilkinson Landscapes, said: "There has been a notable rise in people wanting to make their gardens more enjoyable for social gatherings and relaxation.

"The lockdowns reignited people's love for their gardens, and now, hosting has become a major consideration for our customers.

"They want a space that is both impressive and functional for socialising."

Surveys recently conducted reveal that 75 per cent of individuals have hosted a garden or BBQ party, indicating a growing desire for sociable garden spaces.

This trend has been enhanced since the first Covid-19 lockdown, with many barbecue owners improving their grilling skills.

Clever Association will showcase their latest audio-visual solutions technology at various show gardens.

Interested consumers will get an opportunity for a firsthand experience of the transformation their gardens could undergo.

Mr Wilkinson also said: "Garden sound systems have had a bit of bad image thanks to the crackling poor quality ‘rock speakers’ that first came on the market.

"We’re going for the very best because we don’t use materials or products that aren’t parallel to the high quality to our landscaping work.

"Partnering with Clever Association allows us to offer top-of-the-line audio systems that enhance our garden designs."
