A plain, weathered wooden bench rests beside a tree for quiet reflection in a corner of a yard. Rather than having just a large expanse of grass, you're more likely to use your yard to its fullest if you section it off into "rooms" or areas. Possibilities for nooks and hideaways include:
- A kitchen garden
- A Zen-like garden with bamboo
- A garden nook with torchieres or floating candles
- A tropical hideaway with a lounge chair, umbrella and lanterns
- A treehouse for kids or adults
