My Dream Garden! #TotsDIY
This month Tots100 teamed up with RatedPeople.com, the website that connects homeowners with quality, local tradesmen, to offer a very exciting competition.
Tots100 and Ratedpeople.com are challenging bloggers to makeover a room in the most creative way we can think of imply by saying which room in our home we’d like to transform, and how we’d do it, and we could be in with a chance of winning £2,500 worth of tools, materials and expert tradesman advice. Amazing!
Our garden is very special and it means a lot to us due to all the wonderful moments that we had in our garden with our son!
Although we only have a small garden, we truly love our little space. Our garden holds so many special memories and happy moments. It was at our own garden that our little boy took his first steps.
It was great when little man started walking in the garden, how could we ever forget that special moment that he stood up and started walking out of the blue? It was a magical moment.
He also had his first fall at our garden, you can see in the video. Luckily we managed to capture, thanks to technology!
Hubby is a chef and he loves cooking. I must say his BBQs are amazing! A few weeks after little man’s first steps, we had a family BBQ and little man had his first ice lolly in our garden.
He absolutely loved it and he had a great time with his little cousins. Simple pleasures in life, you only need good company to have a laugh and be happy.
A few months later, it was little man’s first snow and he loved playing in the snow. It was at our garden that he experienced a snowfall for the first time. He found it cold and fun. He was so happy walking and falling in the snow.
He looked so cute wearing his winter clothes and walking around in the garden like a little snowman! Unforgettable moments, little man’s first winter!
Our garden holds several “first memories”, first steps, first fall, first ice lolly, first watering plants experience, first flower, first time little man rode a bike. Lovely memories with little man and his cousins enjoying the nice weather and having ice cream.
Although our garden has a sentimental value, as you can see by the pictures, our garden is far from perfect and it needs a good old makeover!
How would I like my dream garden?
I would love a Contemporary Garden Design, which is modern and child-friendly. We only have one child at the moment, but we should have another one coming soon!
My dream garden is a mixture of decking and lawn for my little boy to play with his friends and cousins.
We would have a raised patio design with a few steps built leading to the garden area.
A small decking by the back of the garden would be perfect to sit down for some fresh air and contemplate our lovely new garden.
A flower bed along the side of the garden would give a special touch and stepping stones would allow give access to the garden.
In order to keep our garden looking gorgeous all the time, simple planting would be easy to maintain.
The raised flower beds would be planted with bamboos and underplanted with tail grass. The wooden seat in the raised flower bed would be useful to sit down in a nice sunny day
We believe gardens should be used to have fun and enjoy ourselves. We already invite our loved ones round to our garden as it is.
Imagine how wonderful it would be to meet up in this new garden!
My husband and I love entertaining friends and family and hosting barbeque parties, so an outdoor kitchen BBQ island would be perfect!
Imagine having one of those gorgeous barbeque units in your garden! They seem very stylish and useful too!
Of course we would also need a nice set of table and chairs to accommodate everyone! The food would be cooked in style and enjoyed in a gorgeous garden, full of green and nature around!
My ideal garden is quite simple, but it is stylish and child-friendly!
I have also created a Pinterest board of my Dream Garden!
