What's in your fantasy garden? [View all]

I love English cottage gardens so for me: winding stone paths, a small foot bridge over a tiny stream and pond, lily pads, koi, irises, low stone walls overgrown with ivy, an herb garden, a classic field stone wishing well, 2 topiaries and a Hobbit (sod) house or a small hut with a thatched roof, an arbor, loaded grape vines, blueberries, sunflowers, a meditation bench facing the sunset, a hot tub and an outdoor kitchen.

Yours?
