FURNISHING THE GARDEN
 
 
rbours, gazebos, doors, gates, seats, urns, statuary, arches, paving, trellises, etc. All come under the furnishing label and should be chosen with care. They should be of right proportions and made of the right material. Better to have a few good pieces than too many ordinary ones.. Well placed, they help to finish a garden and seats enable people to relax and enjoy the special
tranquility that a well designed and maintained garden can impart.
 
......I have an excellent team of joiners, trellis makers, wireworkers and blacksmiths who will make to order plus some superb terracotta stone suppliers for pots, urns, balustrades and paving. Some examples are shown here.
