There's a playful spirit to this relaxed seaside garden, but it has a practical side too. The greenhouse allows the gardener to get an early start on the season's vegetables, and there is room for the gardener to grow tender ornamentals and to relax amongst plants throughout the year. The outdoor shower makes it easy to rinse off. Rock-filled wirework containers topped with cushions offer perfect dockside seating.
