The design for the same plot can vary so such depending on an individuals taste and preferences. The intention is to show people how even a limited space has potential, and that by manipulating and shaping their exterior space, outdoor rooms can be created and furnished with the same flair, imagination and attention to detail that people often associate only with interior spaces.
The concept is based on three similar standard back gardens and two relatively small front gardens. The objective is to illustrate choice and possibilities through varying designs, themes and materials. As the leading Irish owned DIY multiple in Ireland, Woodies supply a range of hardware, paving, accessories and plants which people use in their gardens. The concept is to offer inspiration, using a range of Woodies products, so people can pick up ideas for elements and concepts for particular areas in their own space.
