Default LC's Garden Project

I recently purchased a ready-made garden which is basically a base with 3 walls. Am going to turn it into the sort of garden you sit in and relax rather than a gardeners garden if you know what i mean.
Will be adding pics tomorrow, if my camera starts working by then

Sal- i guess it is like a courtyard. I have a small summerhouse, arch, garden table and chairs. There won't be a vegetable patch or anything like that, everything will be neat and tidy
Joe- will try the camera again in a bit, see if its started working again

Mines quite big actually so i have lots of space to 'play' with Im sure you can do a lovely little garden in a small space.
Just tried my camera and its not working Maybe the batteries do actually need charging this time(usually they say it needs charging when i've just charged them!)
So no piccies just yet.

Well finally i have been working on the garden. I have used real stones/gravel for the path and also for the rockery edging around the pond, path and seating area. I used railway mini chippings for the seating area as this had to be quite flat so the table and chairs would sit properly.
I used a lot of glue, so much so that it has taken a week for the PVA to go clear!
I dressed the archway with flowers, i think i over-did it a bit but am happy with the result. I also filled all the pots and vases with flowers and moss.
The small building is from Sue Ryder which was a bargain at £7.99. I am in the process of painting the bench. I will be adding more pots and accessories in due course.
Its more of a garden to sit and relax in rather than do much gardening.

Hi LC, Just finished a pile of ironing and came on here for a nose. Your garden looks the perfect place for me to relax in.
