An integral element of our old garden was the rusted arch walk. We had purchased these wonderful arches from Secret Gardens Furniture (www.secretgardensfurniture.com) and I think they were a wonderful feature and beautifully made. So pleased were we that we commissioned an arbour which we designed and had them make. We have brought this arbour with us and it will be a lovely place to sit and take in the vegetable, herb and cutting gardens. There is much work yet to do in this area of the garden but I was conscious that the arbour had been left in bits, taking up room in a corner of the garden since the day we moved in. Best to get it in place now and we can build the beds around this central point. I have to say it went back together a lot easier than I expected which was a relief. And having cleared and prepared its site, I then laid a membrane and covered it with the decorative stone chippings. I think a two seater wooden or stone bench will be perfect to finish it off and we will keep an lookout for one. Once planted with clematis around the outside to grow up against it and flowerpots overflowing with planting it should look great.
