An Outdoor-Living Garden

A whole outdoor room built around a mature tree: an oak kitchen bar, a covered spa and a cedar garden pod, tied together with sandstone paths and willow screens.

Some gardens are better treated as one large room than as a lawn with a few features dropped into it. This one turns on a single mature tree, and everything else was set out to sit comfortably around it.

There is a bar to cook and pour at under the oak gazebo, a covered spa a few steps away on the deck, and a cedar-roofed pod to sit in once the evening cools. Riven sandstone paths link them, and willow hurdles screen each part without closing it off.

Laid out this way, the garden gives a family somewhere to eat, bathe and gather without going back indoors. It is used through the year, not only in the two warm months.
