Enjoy the great outdoors and win a year's National Trust membership with Nomow

* Competition collaboration

I don't know about you but I am really eager for Spring and hoping that the slightly lighter evenings and the arrival of daffodils in the shops means it's not too far away now. I feel that winter, Christmas aside, can be quite a dreary time of year and it often means staying warm indoors and not going out and about all that much.

Exploring the great outdoors or our very own great outdoors - our garden - is usually something we wait until Spring to do.

But thanks to Nomow, Europe's leading manufacturer of artificial grass that mimics the look and feel of the real thing, you don't have to put off your outdoor adventures, at home or away, as they have a 12 month National Trust family membership to giveaway to one lucky winner.

If you'd love to have an evergreen lawn, and one that doesn't require a great deal of maintenance, artificial grass is really worth checking out. The options available from Nomow are incredibly natural looking and long-lasting too.

It's something that I'd like to consider so we can makeover our garden and really enjoy it come this summer. We'd love to have somewhere nice and safe for Ethan to play and artificial turf is also a safe option if you have dogs - so no more muddy paws from Watson when he comes in our house!

Other key benefits I've heard about include how easy it is to clean (apparently you can hoover your lawn!) and it lasts for several years without fading. Nomow's ranges start from around £13.99 per square metre, so that's pennies saved as well as time mowing and maintaining real grass.

Whether or not we do get around to tackling our garden this year, I would like to get out and about and see more places. We have been to several National Trust properties, including Baddesley Clinton and Calke Abbey, so this competition is perfect for a family like us and would give us a great excuse to find and explore more interesting places in 2017, with a new adventure every weekend.
