This is a family friendly garden, or flexible garden if you prefer.

Double doors lead out on to the sunny patio from the kitchen/diner.The patio is large with plenty of room for sitting on, eating at, and if the kids want they could have a basketball net. There is a rotary drier, and around the corner by the garage plenty of space for a Wheelie bin and recycling bins. A raised bed on the patio allows for herbs to be grown, and the bbq is right by it.

Steps lead down to a level lawned area, which is private and lovely to sit out on, or to play ball games.

The planting on the patio and below is different but complement each other, and all the plants are in view from the kitchen window, and dining area.
