Candles for the Patio and Garden

Spring and summer are a great time to take your soy candles outside. There are a variety of uses from creating a welcoming atmosphere to using candles to keep pests away.

Creatively placing candles in an outdoor space can make any garden room inviting and relaxing. It is recommended that you use either unscented candles or an insect repellent variety depending on your needs. Any candle can be used outdoors and some are specifically made for that purpose.

Candles also can play a functional role on a patio or other outdoor entertaining area. Citronella scented candles will help repel gnats and other small insects around eating areas. Candles other than citronella are also available that repel insect.  These candles have a more pleasing citrus smell and work equally as well as citronella candles.  HeavenScent Soy Candles manufactures both all natural citronella candles, and an insect repellent blend candle.

Overall, candles are a great year round way to relax. The soft glow of a burning candle on a summer night is sure to help you unwind. So get outside and be sure to take your candles with you.
