Our PATIO paradise | A small space made beautiful

This is the story of how we transformed an ugly strip of old concrete slabs in front of our house into a beautiful outdoor space - our patio paradise!

We look at the patio planning and design, the build, garden furniture, containers of all shapes and sizes, plants and plant combinations, watering and feeding container plants, climbing plants, and some of the issues that have cropped up for us whilst tending our patio garden over the years.

Our organic garden is on a steep hillside in the Upper Severn Valley near Llanidloes in Mid Wales in the UK where we enjoy a temperate climate.
