What better theme in the year of the World Cup than football.
I designed this football garden for families who love the game and share this passion together, watching matches and playing football pre and post the TV games, not forgetting a quick kick around during half time!

All this, rather than dad going off to the pub to watch the match, or just lounging in front of the TV in the house, it’s the whole family and friends getting together outdoors in their tailor made football landscape.
The Garden and Football share a common interest with Horticulture. Specifically with graminoids, which are monocotyledonous, usually herbaceous plants with narrow leaves growing from the base in a variety of specie combinations, which we commonly call…. grass.
To a gardener it’s the ‘quintessential Lawn’, to the footballer it’s the ‘all essential Pitch’. The World cup Football Family garden combined two of our Nation’s biggest hobbies, football and horticulture in one spectacular garden.
