| With
today's modern materials and with such a large variety of plants
being available, a garden can combine mystery, adventure and
exhilaration for children whilst looking stylishly designed. |

Example: The Family Garden
|
| In
this garden we divided it into three distinct areas, a lawned play
area where games could be played with plants that are robust
enough to withstand the odd football. The garden is sited in a
disused quarry and the side needed shoring up, which was carried
out with terraced sleeper beds attached to a board walk to give a
dry pathway. As this
area faced west it was the ideal place for an arbour to watch the
sun go down with a glass of wine after the children had finished
their play in the playhouse with its accompanying stockade. The
third area was left wild to provide a variety of habitats for
birds, frogs, butterflies and other insects and although
educational it is a favourite area. The garden provides a safe
play environment but it is also a place where everyone in the
family can relax and enjoy the sights, scents and sounds of the
natural world. |
