A garden for wildlife and children
The owners of this large garden wanted an informal garden to attract wildlife and seating areas to sit and enjoy the sun and the view of the brook.
Handmade hardwood timber raised beds surrounds a large entertainment area paved with natural York Stone, with a wide edge of attractive red brick traditional herringbone panel.
The seating area has views onto a delightful handmade children’s 6 by 4 metre wood cabin.
The thatch roof cabin is claded with timber and includes a walking wall, covered porch and a play room. A weatherproof timber toy box compliments the timber raise beds.
