While some choose to go to the sea or to the mountains, others prefer to stay at home enjoying their terrace and their outdoor spaces. Have you ever thought about setting up an allotment garden?
We have to face the facts, the garden is not only the place where we like to pamper our vegetables and our flowers, where we like to bask in the sun and receive our friends. It is also a real playground for our children and that as soon as the weather is good. The garden must be laid out accordingly so that everyone can enjoy it, the adults, but especially also the children.
And if you are in the middle of remodeling your garden, I invite you to read the articles on Binette &jardin. With us, the question did not even arise, because it is simply impossible for me not to dedicate a space for my children. What's more, it has now been two successive years since we all went on vacation together, the children were with Grandpa and Grandma. Thus, providing them with an equipped playground has made them forget the pleasures and leisure of the seaside.
But adults are not left out either. Indeed, under a deliciously shaded arbor, in an area of the garden protected from prying eyes and the surrounding hubbub, I have installed a comfortable, cozy and cozy garden furniture. The relaxation area serves me both for naps, for aperitifs or for the countless barbecues to which I invite acquaintances, neighbors and relatives. There is even a small kitchen area nearby and a pizza oven is under construction.
As for the choice of the location of the playground for the children, I opted for a place far from my flower beds and my flower beds, to avoid that the little monsters trample them or that the balloons do not land there. The area still remains within sight so that I can keep an eye on them while doing household chores. The first piece of equipment I installed was a swing, followed by a sandbox. Here is a must-have for this space, especially for parents with young children.
A word of advice:when buying this accessory, opt for models equipped with a cover, otherwise, you risk finding it filled with rainwater, not to mention that you can also spend your days picking up rubbish and debris. dirt that falls into it. In addition, a sandbox will be placed in a non-wooded area, to avoid falling branches and dead leaves. But a wooden hut is also very popular with both children and pre-teens.
However, due to a lack of space, my children made do very well with a tipi taken out occasionally during their nights under the stars. As a result, when the tent does not occupy the space, a trampoline takes its place. Finally, for the choupinette, I made her a 3D hopscotch using tiles recovered during renovation work on my roof.
