The Infinity Bench by Tom Huang and Andrew Williams explores the possibilities of bamboo strip construction.It was originally designed to be used in public settings but would make a great feature in any yard. www.designaw.me
Designed by Kristian Aus and produced by B-LINE, the Splash Stool has multipurpose uses. It can be used as a stool, planter or just for storage. Also makes a great bucket for cooling bottles of wine!

Winter colour in the yard is not always about spring flowering bulbs and winter bedding plants. Evergreens have a wide range of shades and tones that look particulary effective when they are grouped together. Size of leaf makes an interesting contrast when mixed in a group especially in wet conditions when large shiny leaves reflect against smaller matt ones.
I hope you enjoy my blogging scrapbook of all things relating to owning and living with a very small garden.
My own yard is only 5m x 5m so I understand the challenges involved in trying to use this small space to the full.
I have been involved all my working life with design, garden design, horticulture and garden retailing. At present I work as a buyer for a large South west garden centre.
I have a passion for good cutting edge design and plants that excite.
Frank.
