Garden Rooms

The idea of dividing a garden into distinct rooms is almost as old as history. It makes sense. By breaking up an open space into defined rooms, you create useful outdoor living areas, encouraging people to extend their indoor activities outside. The room functions can be as diverse as cooking, dining, lounging, playing games, or strolling. And you don’t have to have a sprawling estate to accomplish this. You can fit a lot of functional garden rooms into a surprisingly small space.   MORE

It is here that we gather together to share our stories of life with delectable food, and create moments that turn into memories.  More
