Bon Viveur’s Garden, Stirlingshire

Estate Garden

Sheltered by mixed woodland, the only noises you’ll hear as you relax in this walled garden are the river flowing gently below the garden and the wood pigeons cooing in the trees above.

We constructed this 7.0 x 5.5m solid oak Gazebo with a stainless steel kitchen and soft seating area for visitors to escape the anxieties of life and enjoy time with friends. A 7-seater Hydropool Hot Tub bubbles quietly away beneath the cedar shingle roof while the fridge keeps your beer cool.

Rosa ‘Evelyn’, bred by David Austin for Crabtree & Evelyn, fills the air with its apricot-like scent and catmint flourishes beneath the roses.

Beyond the rose garden, we formed an outdoor dining terrace with the slate from a disused billiard table and knocked through a hole in the wall to create an outdoor fireplace with an Italian mantelpiece. We designed and built an oak farmhouse table to seat 14 so that guests can dine by a roaring log fire.
