Spaces for entertaining: think about comfort, flexibility, and safety when creating gathering places in the garden

摘要

The porch that overlooks my garden makes a great spot to host a casual dinner party. But I don't need any such excuse to enjoy outdoor dining. Whenever weather permits, I treat myself to a leisurely breakfast there. I relish those moments of listening to birdsong and enjoying the cool morning air. When I work with clients to design garden spaces to meet their entertaining needs, I tell them that their own daily use should be the first priority. Regardless of the budget or the size of a property, itpays to create a pleasing atmosphere that invites everyday lingering. Then, whether they want to host outdoor barbecues or large catered affairs, we see to it that the space offers comfort and flexibility.
