A home for critters and crawlers

This is a great garden for families. Lots for the kids to do and learn from. The patio is in natural wood decking but could also be stone, with ground cover plants filling the cracks and spaces. The paths are mulch or leaf and there is also a wooden arbour to sit and watch the mini world go by. Large water harvesting tanks to feed the irrigation and nestling close to the side of the house, have evolved from those ugly plastic bins they used to be.

Only natural: A little bit of the great outdoors in your back yard
