Step up through the lush planting to a raised deck, styled with comfortable furnishings and covered by a living pergola, which also functions as a planting channel, offering extra growing space, colour and design interest. The living wall located behind the cooking area provides vertical space for additional planting.

Inspiration comes from Garden House Design’s aim to create gardens for eating, cooking and socialising, with simple yet stunning planting. Live Outdoors shows that budget restrictions need not compromise great landscape design.
