oh wow... love that treehose, adore those delphiniums, that fire pit is amazing bit not for me with liitle fingers around... my fantasy garden would be a miniature Mottisfont abbey.. all those roses! drool...!
There will of course be a child friendly place where we can lock them up... oops I mean leave them safely in the care of a highly qualified nanny for the day.
Would also vote for one section to have a beautiful walled garden. It would have an ancient peeling paint wooden door access - thinking 'Secret Garden' here - and I can't quite decide whether it should be relentlessly formal with herb, fruit & veg beds or wildly romantically overgrown with trees and roses and hidden corners.
Oh - I'd also quite like one of those revolving summer houses - to shelter from the wind and face away from or into the sun depending on temperature and mood
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
I would have a walled garden, south facing with a really good irrigation system for hot summers and under ground heating under the lawn for wet, cold winters. It would be country cottage style, all the plants would be disease free and have a fabulous perfume. There would be lots of nooks and crannies to escape to with a good book. There would be a lovely pond that never needed cleaning out and it would be full of glorious wildlife that had a diet of weeds and flower munching bugs. No wasps or midges, lots of bees, and definitly no grass snakes, slow worms or snakes. Heaven.

Something like this to keep us warm in the evenings?Plenty of well-behaved wildlife to watch, I think. Blackbirds only eating the bruised, fallen fruit...
I'd love a turf seat, with thyme growing through the grass. Mmmm... wake me up at lunchtime, someone!
I think Dove is in charge of Lunch..
Totally calorie free for those on a diet.

I would love one of these, easy to do, if you have the time
Love 'natural' sculptures in the garden ...

Ooh Topbird great minds eh.
Wildly romantic sounds fantastic Topbird. Secret Garden was one of my favourite books as a child.
But perhaps we could have 2 walled gardens, to satisfy the need for relentlessly formal as well...
