    With lockdown and having free time on my hands, we decided to create a "garden room" with our garden. An extension to the house if you like. With it being a sunken garden, we replaced decking with a cast iron balcony and a helix staircase going down into the garden. A corner sofa, swinging egg chair and a small table fire bowl was added. Still kept planting to bamboos, Palms annd other semi exotics, and went for a red theme with planting for the mediterraneanlook and feel. Lighting is used throughout for the warm nights...

                  You have done a fantastic job there Simon, I think you should do a video and send it to gardeners world

                  I really like the night time views, just need some nice warm evenings to get a chance to use it. :smile:

                    Mightily impressive, Simon. Well thought through on all levels, and very very tastefully created.
