    I am so excited because I have bought a stone seat which Ive wanted for ages [​IMG] Its sort of in situ - but I need some ideas about what to do with the backdrop and surrounding area please. The seat just faces a small decking area so no real view but I want to do something AMAZING behind it ;) Have thought of small gazebo, or rose arch but its at right angles to a rose arch already. So come on guys, get your creative juices flowing :D
    Her are some pics to give you the general idea:

    Hi Marge, this is mine and you can see they are similar. You get an idea of the planting from this. Good in this weather you get a nice cold bum when you sit on it!

    I don't recomend the wickes sand though. :D

    Thats so lovely BM - they are similar arent they? Mines not the real thing though but looks pretty good I think [​IMG] I love the way you have planted round it - just what I would like to do I think. Thanks for the great pics [​IMG]
    PS - The sand shows you do some work and dont just sit on your seat cooling your bum ;) LOL
