Mary Anne’s Enchanted playland bravely aims to create a woodland in the suburban garden. From the side gate a willow lined gravel path leads to a log playhouse surrounded by toadstools. Alongside, a gate leads into a grass area for dogs but will anyone else get to use it? Wooden stepping-logs lead to another play area – this one with tyre climbing frame, swing and slide. 

The adults haven’t been totally forgotten – a timber decking leads directly from the house to a picnic bench and table under a wooden pergola with a protective Perspex roof. Brickwork planters contain herbs, fruit and perennials & give the garden its form. The whole area is bravely hidden under a canopy of trees to complete that woodland effect.
